Fees and Financial Aid:

The yearly fee is 120000 nearly. And we have to pay This in 2 installment. And we have to pay additional bus fee 16000 per year . And this aal we have to pay before starting the semester. Additional charges are added on yearly fee. MP Government provides scholarship to us according to category like OBC get 28000-30000 rupees yearly and ST/SC get more than obc. I don't know exact amount. If you are taking hostel then you have to pay for that also. Our college provide hostel to boys for only one year and for girls all year.

If you want an Government engineering degree in less percentile then this is one of the best options because the course, exam and marksheet are all affiliated and provided by RGPV Bhopal

Fees is submitted in 2 halves for every student and student can even submit it in one part also. Bus fee is compulsory for all of the students and is submitted before college fee. My feel is 1 Lakh 27 Thousand (127000) and 15 thousand as bus fee(15000). Total 142000 for a year if you take hostel then 80-1 Lakh for hostel for people living outside Bhopal then it would cost around 250000 for 1 year. Total would be 10 Lakhs for BTech course.

Inside LNCT, What you need to know?

we have to pay 1 lakh 20 thousand per year for the couse which they provided to us. the fees will differ for the different courses like the fees of core branches are high as compare to fees for specialization. our yearly fee which we pay per year includes tution fee registration fee and dress charges book charges etc. And we have to pay bus fee separately, or i would sey we have to either live in campus hostel and pay hostel fee or we have to pay bus fee. and it is compulsory for all to pay one of the two, either bus or hostel, even if we need bus or not. This institution obviously have an scholarship department and different type of scholarships are provided for the students who falls in the scholarship catagory, but one student can only persue one scholarship at a time. And our institution also have some special seats for students called TFW (Tution Fee Wavior) seat where if student's JEE rank is below than 150000 then can acquire TFW seat, where student's tution fee is reduced from the paying fee. and the fee is increasing per year with some rate. some scholarships are provided for sc/st catagory and some for obc and also some for general catory and some scholarships are specially made for girls who scored more than 85 percentage in their 12th standard. and some scholarships like MMVY or NSP are provided for the students.

This is very bad of being not bringing celebrity as the aspect of the fees they take from us.
The attendance has the main point because it is mandatory tory to maintain 75% and then only you get the internal Marks..

My College has a large fees structure and has increasing yearly which is not so expensive but according to 10% of last year fees . The scholarship has been given to OBC and SC,ST, which has good and for few students who get the good percentage in exam for entry like jee and aieee get the full scholarship benifits.
