I have a few friends from LNCT and here is their insight on the institute. 

• All of the colleges in the LNCT group are more or less the same in every way, including the majority of the faculty.
• All three (LNCT, LNCTS, and LNCTE) are on the same campus. You will have similar college events, such as tech fests, etc.
• Most importantly, when it comes to placement, you will be considered the same as LNCT students, and there will be no discrimination.
• Unlike other colleges, in LNCTE, you will have to conduct your experiments in the lab. 
• The books in the library are standard textbooks that are useful for a student who is preparing for a test.

So overall it is a good institute. Go for it.

According to one of my friend's personal experiences, the first day at LNCT Bhopal was not that great. She could only see everyone in white as soon as she boarded the bus and could not even recognize some of her schoolmates who have taken admission to the college. 

Then all the students were directed to their respective rooms and guided by the faculty regarding all the rules to be followed inside the college. Then the students were taken to their buses.

My friend was a bit disappointed by the fact that she could not make some friends in long 6 hours. But in a few months, she finally made some friends and now she is really enjoying her time at the institute.

The first day at the institute can be daunting, but with time it certainly gets better.

One of my friends studied at LNCT Bhopal. According to him, the placement scenario of LNCT Bhopal is good and decent. 

• Many major companies are coming to the college for on-campus placements. 
• These companies include Wipro, Amdocs, Accenture, DXC, Cognizant, Infosys, TCS, and many others. 
• The placement rate of LNCT Bhopal is around 75-80%.

According to the recent statistics of LNCT Bhopal, for the year 2020:

The placements of LNCT Bhopal are decent for the students pursuing the CS branch or even for the other core branches and being a private college, it is the best college so far with great academics, infrastructure, and co-curricular activities. Work hard to be the one who stands out from the crowd. This way you can achieve everything.

LNCT Bhopal is without a doubt Madhya Pradesh's most reputable private engineering college. In addition, LNCT is the only engineering college in Bhopal that offers Chemical Engineering among the 65 private engineering institutes. This institution provides appropriate guidance as well as practical analysis.

But Chemical Engineering at the institute does not enjoy the same exposure as branches like CSE or IT. If you want decent placement opportunities then you will have to work for them on your own. In 2021 placement drive Chemical Engineering students from LNCT were recruited by Indian Oil, Tata Chemicals, Reliance Petroleum, etc. 

While a clear-cut answer to this question isn’t possible, here are some insights regarding ranks and admissions according to my friends who are currently studying there.

One of my friends is a final year student from LNCT pursuing B.Tech in IT. He secured a rank of 1,27,000 in 2017 but he wasn’t able to secure a seat in CSE Branch with that rank. Instead, he took a seat in IT in the 1st round itself. Yes, he didn’t wait for the 2nd or 3rd round. However, you can wait for at least the 3rd round to see if your chances increase for the CSE branch. 

Secondly, it also depends on your quota. Most of the time it is quite impossible to secure a seat with such a rank without any quota. My friend who belonged to the unreserved category couldn’t get in even EC with a rank of 69,000.

In recent years the required cutoff for CSE at LNCT Bhopal was 83761. 

At last, if you are looking forward to a bright future in CSE or IT, establish your skills in programming on your own. If you are dependent on your college for learning something such as programming, your chances of grabbing programming job profiles are less.

No, LNCT Bhopal does not come under the best 100 colleges of India. In the 2020 ranking of NIRF, it was ranked 251-300. However, in 2021, it was ranked 50th for private engineering by India Today. 

If you are looking for good placements, you can go for LNCT, since it has a good placement record. However, irrespective of the good placement record and the brand value it still has some issues that need to be addressed.

The faculty base is not that great. The faculty here focuses just on the theory part instead of imparting practical knowledge to the students.

Also, there is no environment for programming in the college and students have to pay extra and learn the programming languages for placements. 

So before getting admission, do thorough research on the institute.

LNCT Bhopal is a good option when compared with other private colleges in Bhopal in terms of good placement records and extracurricular activities.

Teaching at LNCT is not so good but it's also not that bad teachers are well-qualified. Faculty members give their best but self-study is more important in any aspect.

You must maintain a good attendance record at the college otherwise it can cause difficulty for you. It will help in scoring good marks in the sessional exams.

For a student, a college is just like a platform and only you can grab the opportunities. If you are looking for good placements right after graduation, you can try LNCT Bhopal.
