Lakshmi Narain College of Technology - [LNCT], Bhopal - Placement Details and Companies Visiting

LNCT Bhopal is among the finest colleges in Bhopal. According to some of my friends studying there, the placement coordinator of LNCT is very cooperative as well as favors the students. 

• The placement opportunities at LNCT Bhopal are tremendous. 
• The major companies that come to hire are Infosys, Cognizant, Wipro TCS, Capzemini, L&T, Tech Mahindra, Amazon, Amdocs, etc.
• Most of the students are recruited by these companies. 
• You should not worry about getting placed here as they guarantee placements to all students.
• It is advisable to opt for the main campus during your admission. 
• Priority is given to the students of main campus therefore opting for it would be a wise decision. 

All branches are said to be given equal opportunities but it is known to everyone that CS and EC get more preference. There are 80+ national and international companies that visit every year to recruit the best students.

Among the state private engineering colleges, LNCT is ranked first in every category. In terms of college, the campus is nice, and the infrastructure is good (as per state colleges).

Perks: 

• The college atmosphere is often positive. Classes are held on a regular basis, and there is strong discipline.
• The placement scenario is excellent especially for CS, IT, and EC.
• Wipro, Infosys, and cognizant are among the companies that recruit students from LNCT. These companies specialize in mass recruitment. These companies offered annual packages ranging from 3 to 3.5 lakhs.
• Many small telecommunications companies also recruit at colleges. The package offered is around 3 lakhs.
• In LNCT, students mostly study CS, IT, and EC. Given that it is an RGPV college, one can expect additional study-level parameters.

Disadvantages: 

• The need for 75% attendance for good session grades is inconvenient.
• It becomes more like a school with a higher attendance percentage.
• Other competitive tests (if desired) cannot be prepared for till the third year. For good grades, attendance is important.

These are a few factors that you need to keep in mind if you are considering joining LNCT. 

I have a few friends from LNCT Bhopal and according to their experience, the Mechanical department doesn’t have a good placement record.

• Very few core companies visit the campus to recruit Mechanical Engineering students. Also, the number of vacancies for such companies is less. VOITH, AIS Glass, Triveni Turbines are some of the core recruiting companies for Mechanical Engineering.
• Other than the core companies you can also sit for IT companies or marketing companies.

Overall the placements of the institute are quite good, despite few underperforming branches. LNCT has good placement records for departments like IT, CSE, and ECE, alongside a placement percentage sloping far ahead to at least 95%. In the recent placement drive, the average and highest CTC offered was 3 LPA and 21 LPA.

Some of my cousins graduated from LNCT Bhopal and here are some things about LNCT you need to know before getting an admission here. 

• LNCT Group is vast across central India. 
• They cover all the types of courses, graduate and postgraduate.
• But the main branch LNCT Bhopal that was established in 1993 is the place where everything blossomed. It still stands on the top among a lot of colleges. 
• Laxmi Narain College of Technology (LNCT) offers all types of technical and engineering courses.

Within the campus, there are 2 more colleges, those are LNCTE (Excellence) and LNCTS (Technology and Science), and these 3 are affiliated with RGPV currently. There are also separate buildings for pharmacy, MBA, and MCA. Therefore, I can assure you that LNCT Bhopal is the best among all.

The placement record for CSE at LNCT is great. The reason for this is the excellent management of the institute. 

Students have been trained ahead of time in CS courses which is a 3-month NextStep course (the best TnP coaching of Bhopal). This attracts a large number of companies to LNCT. 

The majority of CSE students at LNCT Bhopal wind up working for one of the several mass recruiting firms such as CTS, Wipro, Infosys, Capgemini, I-GATE, Syntel, and others, who give a package around the 3.2 LPA margin. According to the placement highlights of 2020, the average CTC offered at the institute was in the range of 3-8 LPA. While the highest CTC offered was 27 LPA by Microsoft. 

If you are getting CS at LNCT Bhopal, then you should opt for it.

• The admission process in LNCT is not a cakewalk in comparison with Amity Gwalior. Amity Gwalior needs 60% aggregate for taking admission. Direct admission is also done at Amity Gwalior.
• However, in LNCT Bhopal, you will need to qualify for the qualifying exam and go through the online MP counseling process.
• In terms of campus, the campus of Amity is very good as compared to LNCT. If you want to go for any coaching then both of these colleges are a little far from the main city.
• In Amity, the teaching is good, the faculties are good. But the class timing and few subjects are often causing issues. The student crowd is mixed.
• In LNCT, the quality of education is great. You will be among talented peers. 
• In terms of placement, LNCT is better than Amity as it is an old and reputed institute. In 2020, the average CTC offered at LNCT was 3-8 LPA and the highest CTC offered was 27 LPA. 

So, if you have the option, go for LNCT.

LNCT is among the most popular private colleges in Bhopal. The infrastructure, facilities of this college are excellent.

Faculty:

Most of the faculty of this college have completed their BE from a private or government college and there are also professors who have completed their M.Tech and Ph.D. in their respective subjects. 

Curriculum:

The course curriculum of this college is great as it is a part of Rajiv Gandhi Technical University. The syllabus is balanced for the 1st and 2nd years and it is updated regularly. There are various subjects for understanding operating systems, computation and networking. But the coding culture is not that great. 

Examination Pattern:

The examination pattern is quite effective too. There are adequate days of gap between two exams in every semester and the practical exams are being conducted before 20-25 days of the main theoretical exams. There are also internal exams and if you perform well in these, then the main exams will be very easy for you. 

Placements: 

The placement scenario is also very good but it is continuing to decrease every year. A lot of popular companies such as Infogain, Birlasoft, Infosys, Syntel visit the campus for interviews but the packages offered now are less compared to the last few years. In recent years the average CTC offered ranges between 3-8 LPA. 

Hence, the facilities and the faculty of LNCT Bhopal are very good to pursue CSE, but the placement scenario is becoming poor every year and this is a matter of concern.

Since I am a part of LNCT Group of Technologies, Bhopal, the insights I provide can be helpful for a few. 

• The IT sector placements, by the organization, apparently offer a variety of opportunities. 
• A really good amount of recruiters visit the campus, especially from the IT sector, and hire a large number of candidates. 
• VMware, back in 2019, offered the highest salary package of almost around INR 18 LPA and hired 4 students side by side. 
• The best advice to secure a position at the top companies is to put as much effort as required into brushing your skills from the scratch. 
• It is better to stay updated with the latest technological trends of the industry and keep up with their demands, as and when required.
• You should invest a reasonable amount of time into working upon aptitude, and logical reasoning, alongside keeping a good hold on your communication skills as well. 

These are aspects that play a pivotal role in determining whether or not you are the best fit for a firm. It is suggested that you keep on polishing your skills more than wondering about aspects otherwise. 

As some of my friends studied at LNCT Bhopal, I can say that the mechanical engineering course offered by them is pretty good. 

• A course in Mechanical Engineering is considered to be among the most prestigious courses of a core branch that is offered by the institution. 
• Every year, several firms visit the campus of the institution to recruit skilled students with innovative ideas for various job profiles. 
• Many companies recruit students from all departments of the institution and not just the department of mechanical engineering. 
• The Institution’s training and placement cell put in efforts actively in assisting the students so that they can acquire a good job role at a reputable firm that hires students on-campus at LNCT. 
• It can be a great choice for you and the students who are looking out for quality education in their graduate programs or for career prospects and enhancement. 

The college campus has a pretty good infrastructure and is student-friendly. This in my opinion would work for the overall development of the enrolled students at the institute and in getting hired by reputed organizations.
