One of my cousins graduated from LNCT Bhopal. According to him, the college does not really care if you bring a laptop or not. It is important only if you don't have a computer system at home.

If you're from CSE or IT departments, having a laptop becomes very important, almost necessary.

The laptop is though not mandatory in the classroom, but you should have it for the provision of self-study, projects and to learn and practice new programming languages. Also it is extremely necessary for practicing coding.

There are strict actions taken so that students do not use laptops or cellphones in the classroom. If it is for a class project or research, you might be able to use it then in a classroom. If you plan not to buy a laptop, you can buy a PC for your house.

Mechanical Engineering is an evergreen branch and considering the placement rate of LNCT, which is 75-80%, it hardly provides any placements to the mechanical branch students. It means the mechanical branch students don't have the core placements. 

In the year 2020, there were 3-4 companies that came to the campus for the core placements and took a very less number of students. Therefore, there are very few placement opportunities for a mechanical branch student in LNCT Bhopal.

There are either no core placements or else the Institute will ask students to apply for the marketing companies and get a placement in that domain. 

But then, if a student is good with the skill set and has good abilities, prepare for the exams like GATE, ONGC. It will help him/her in the future.

LNCT Bhopal is far better than UIT Bhopal in terms of placement and academics, I say this based on the conversations I had with my friends from these institutes. 

• If you are getting UIT, you should join it because it is a government college and the fee structure is lower than LNCT. It will cost around INR 94,000 while a B.E degree from LNCT will cost around 2.64 lakhs. 
• UIT Bhopal is also good in terms of placement. The average CTC offered at the institute is 4-6 LPA. But if money is not an issue, go for LNCT. 

Also, placement is not the only criterion for selecting a college as it is determined by your skills as well as your personality and attitude toward life. So, it doesn't matter which college you attend; what matters is how you utilize those four years to develop the required skill set for the profile.

All the colleges can be good for a student, if he/she focuses on their studies. It's not the college that matters, it is the student’s hard work that makes a difference. 

Out of the two, LNCT is preferred more than the other colleges because some faculties of LNCT are brilliant and resourceful. They are cooperative and highly experienced.

If you think going through a revised copy of what the teachers taught will help you during exams, you are completely wrong. You as a student need to work on your academic skills, communication skills, presentation skills, etc. Teachers can provide you with the basic guidance but in the end it all matters on your hard work.

According to placements also, LNCT is taking all the points and is a decent option as LNCT has a placement rate of 75-80% especially for the students in the CSE and IT departments. Therefore, opt for LNCT without any further thoughts.

LNCT Bhopal is better than JP Guna. Here are the reasons why. 

• Placement is amazing at LNCT Bhopal in comparison with that of JP Guna. Most of the companies prefer to visit LNCT instead of JP Guna because of everything that the city of Bhopal has to offer. 
• The top recruiters at LNCT include Tech Mahindra, TCS, Wipro, Infosys, and Cognizant whereas the top recruiters of JP Guna are Cisco, DE Shaw, SAP Labs, Intuit, and Cognizant. 
• The city of Bhopal would also provide you with an adequate amount of resources for your college life and in case you wish to prepare for a competitive examination during your course. 
• There are many coaching institutes in Bhopal that offer assistance for competitive examinations like GATE, GMAT, CAT, etc. 
• The cost of courses at JP Guna is also higher than that of LNCT. 
• The students at LNCT are also offered the opportunity to participate in workshops and events throughout the academic sessions.

All the important aspects students look out for while choosing a college like facilities, academics, and placement are better at LNCT, compared to JP Guna. 

Having to know some people studying in both LNCT Bhopal and NIIT Neemrana, I would suggest you go for NIIT Neemrana due to their quality of education. Nowadays, if the correct set of teaching staff and practical labs are provided, any university can enable its students to excel in their preferred domains.

Let me mention some reasons of choosing NIIT University over LNCT Bhopal -

• Students here get the best academic and industrial exposure.
• The curriculum is planned with the right mix of research and industry-relevant subjects taught through project-based learning. 
• NIIT offers a separate, optional minor certificate program that runs parallel to the degree program.
• Undergraduate students are expected to work on an R&D Project right from their first year.
• Credits are given for co-curricular activities.
• Internships, seminars, etc are conducted for students, to get accustomed to the work culture.
• NIIT offers the best technology and management programs. It provides support to encourage students to start their business ventures.
• All the batches have had a track record of 100% placement. 
• Leading companies like IBM, PwC, and TCS recruit students.
• Student clubs and sports are also held.
• The campus location is in the pristine Aravalli hills. Also, being just 90 minutes away from IGI Airport, being in Delhi is a major advantage.

When you start your educational journey at NIIT, you don’t just start an academic program, you embrace a new life that will be mentored, motivated, and given an ideal environment to achieve your career dreams.

Since I personally am not well acquainted with the prospects of LNCT Bhopal, it is best to restrict the elaboration to only SRM Delhi for offering the best insight. 

Advantages

• The learning environment is good since there are several well-experienced and professional faculty members. 
• The library generally contains books both from the academic and non-academic arenas, helping keep balance. 
• There are provisions for massive labs as well. 
• The non-teaching staff and assistants are extremely cooperative. 
• The curriculum is comparatively easier than what could be anticipated.
• The sports facilities are extremely advantageous for students who want to enroll in it in the first place. 
• The government-approved societies provide the best means of technology in the form of workshops and conferences.
• The placements are good. Huge MNCs such as Google, Amazon, Verizon, PWC, Deloitte, Airbus, and others arrive at SRM Delhi.

Disadvantages

• Students are likely to invest time in their self-study since the professors are only brief about the topic and expect students to learn the subject area on their own. 
• Students are required to visit the main campus for placements because the institute has a centralized placement scheme for every campus.

For admission purposes, you can directly enquire about the same, without having to deal with any third-party agent. 

It doesn’t matter in which branch of engineering you are in, every branch has some theory sessions and practical sessions. It is important to take the help of technology to implement theoretical concepts practically.

You can definitely carry a laptop in the class but you might not be allowed to use it during lectures. You need to take prior permission from the faculty if you want to operate it for programming or learning a lesson. If anyone denies you to do so, you can directly contact the HOD. Other than that, you can use it during lunchtime for practice sessions.

LNCT has well-established labs for each branch and they are updated with the latest software. You can utilize the laboratories easily if you don’t have a laptop.
