One of my friends had been a student of RGPV Bhopal and she was able to provide some insight regarding the placements there.
The average package offered to the students at UIT RGPV is around 3.5 LPA by prominent companies such as Infosys, Cognizant, TCS, Wipro, HCL, L&T, Accenture, ICICI Bank, Tech Mahindra, and Capgemini.
One of my friends is from SGSITS, and Bhopal is her hometown. I know a few people from UIT RGPV too. Based on the conversations I had with them, I think I can answer your question.
From what I gathered, it doesn't really matter whether you're from GS or UIT. The only thing that matters is your future goals and where you see yourself 5 -10 years from now. whether you want to pursue an MBA, a Ph.D., or a career in technology. However, most of my friends, whether from SGSITS or UIT, work in the same company/profile, so there isn't much of a difference. Here are the recent placement highlights for the institutes.
Institutes | SGSITS | UIT |
Average CTC | 5 LPA | 3 LPA |
Highest CTC | 44 LPA | 8 LPA |
Top recruiters | Infosys, TCS, Wipro, Accenture | Cognizant, Amazon, TCS |
At least take no stress and go for what is best for you. Now you know that there's no major difference and your decision should be accordingly.
RGPV University uses SGPA and CGPA to evaluate students. The SGPA and CGPA are calculated by the following formulas.
SGPA = \(\sum_{i=1}^{n} C_i P_i / \sum_{i=1}^{n} C_i\)
\(C_i\) is the total credits offered in the ith subject of a particular semester for which SGPA is to be calculated. While \(P_i\) is the corresponding grade points earned in the ith subject. Where, i = 1, 2, 3, …, n are the number of subjects in that semester.
And, CGPA = \(\sum_{i=1}^{m} SG_j NC_j / \sum_{i=1}^{m} NC_j\)
Where, \(NC_j\) is the total number of credits offered in the jth semester. \(SG_j\) is the SGPA earned in the jth semester. Where, j = 1, 2, 3, …, n are the number of semesters in that program.
You will get the instructions to convert your CGPA to marks at the back of your semester mark sheets provided by RGPV. As per the university rules, you can get your marks by multiplying your CGPA by 100. You can similarly get your percentage by multiplying 10 to your CGPA.
The academics at UIT RGPV is not good on an all-India level but when compared to other colleges in Bhopal, it is fairly better.
The marking scheme which is followed at private colleges can be a bit harsh for students, but consider it a relief that UIT RGPV does not try to charge for unnecessary expenses just like many other private institutes of India do.
I know a few people from RGPV, and based on what I heard from them, I will say that it’s true that academics are not up to the mark at the institute. During semester exams, students use the Shivani book to pass the following technical courses (which includes questions from the previous 20 years). This prevents you from building up concepts.
Now the placement of the institute is also not that good. The recent placement statistics for the institute are as follows.
Institutes | UIT RGPV |
Average CTC | 3 LPA |
Highest CTC | 8 LPA |
Top recruiters | Cognizant, Amazon, TCS |
Spending four years in RGPV with a 91 percent grade in class 12th would be a waste of time and effort. So, rather than doing B.E. from RGPV, It would be advised to pursue any other option if you are planning to pursue Engineering in the EC branch.
According to UIT-RGPV rules, students are required to maintain a minimum of 75% attendance. Students failing to maintain a minimum of 75% attendance, get disbarred from taking the mid-sem and final examination. Although the restrictions regarding attendance may vary depending on the college and department, try to maintain the minimum attendance, to be safe.
RGPV University is a very reputed university and this university gives chancellor's awards to the best students of this university.
Here are some of the steps which the students must do to receive this award.
Hence, these are some of the steps which you should begin to follow from day one of your graduation to be eligible for this award and make yourself and your university proud.
UIT RGPV is good for Mechanical Engineering. However, things vary with each one of us.
If you want to prepare for higher studies like MS or competitive exams like the GATE or CAT, it is good because you will get a sufficient amount of time. If not, you will end up working in companies like TCS being graduated in Mechanical Engineering from UIT RGPV.
Check the following table for some brief statistics about UIT RGPV:
Particulars | Stats |
Total fees | 1.24 Lakhs |
Placement percent | 90 to 95% |
Average salary | INR 3.5 LPA |
If you have better options you can opt accordingly. UIT is good for B. Tech in Mechanical Engineering you can pursue.
RGPV is a government college and because of this all of the courses which it offers are quite good to get a well-reputed job. IT or CSE will be the best option if you want good placements. According to the recent placement highlights the average CTC offered at UIT RGPV is 3 LPA.
Now, whether you will be able to prepare for UPSC, along with your engineering degree or not, that depends on you.
Thus, you can prepare for UPSC if you really want to, and choosing IT will make it easy for you to lower the burden of academics.
Yes, you can switch your college but make sure to do the following things beforehand:
Importantly, you will need a NOC (Non-objection certificate) from your college stating that they don't have any problem with you changing the college. This is tricky because colleges like OIST will not do that because if they do so, they will lose students and fees.
But once you're done with NOC, you can come for the counseling process in UIT RGPV.
