This is one of the most common questions asked by students in their first year at RGPV. Most of these students are admitted based on the score obtained in the CLC round. Due to this, they are only left with 2-3 options(Mechanical or Petrochemical) to avail seats.

It would not be possible for you to upgrade the branch assigned to you during enrollment. If you have a good academic record, the seats are still offered on the basis of vacancy.

For instance, if a certain branch has a seat available for an OBC candidate, then a General category student cannot apply for it. If in any case, none of the OBC candidates applied for the seat only then you can have a chance.

Even if you have a higher score and have no backlogs, in comparison with an OBC candidate having few backlogs, the seat would still get allocated to him.

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.

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. 

I have friends from both UIT RGPV Bhopal and MITS Gwalior, so I think I can give you some information about the institutes. Here are the placement highlights for UIT RGPV and MITS Gwalior.

Now, when it comes to colleges, I can say that they are nearly the same with no such drastic difference. So if you are to choose either of the two, then you can choose based on the distance between them and your hometown. Choose one in which you live or one that is close to your hometown. Going too far from your hometown won’t be worth your money, time, and efforts.You will eventually acknowledge this by the end of the four years of your B.tech degree.

No, this is not true. UIT RGPV has an excellent atmosphere. Following are some tips for you to know beforehand:

• Academics have nothing to do with the institution. The so-called pointer will not matter to corporates unless it is too low or high to believe.
• Although, UIT RGPV does not focus on skill development because of the curriculum, syllabus, and schemes. Labs are not functional in some subjects.
• The culture at the campus is diverse with students coming from all over the country.
• UIT RGPV has a campus with 250 acres surrounded by a hill, and most of it is covered by natural vegetation, much like any other college’s access to all required facilities for everyone.
• It also has a training placement cell and also an entrepreneurship development cell.
• Some of the alumni have made it to the top 10 in the GATE exam and UPSC.
• There are no attendance problems so you can divide your time wisely.

Good luck, I hope you have a lifetime experience at UIT. 

Both institutes are reputed in Bhopal. The main difference between the two institutes is that LNCT is a private institute while UIT Bhopal is a Govt. Institute. 

One of my friends studied in LNCT and it turns out that they have very good placement. If you are willing to get into the private sector or MNCs, then surely go for it. According to the recent placement highlights the average CTC offered at the institute ranges around 3-8 LPA. However, attendance rules are quite strict at LNCT as they ask for 75% mandatorily. 

UIT, on the contrary, does not have any issues with your attendance owing to the fact that it is a government college. That can be taken as an added advantage if you are willing to prepare for some exam on the sidelines so that college attendance will not hinder your objectives. Just look out for what works best for you. 

There have been a lot of cases when students have changed their branch after the first year. My brother from RGPV did the same when he was pursuing PCT. He changed his branch from PCT to EC. 

• Well, the important thing which you should keep in mind before changing the branch is that you should keep an eye on the number of vacant seats offered by the college.
• The students from any branch are allowed to change to any other branch. Such as a student from CS can change his branch to automobile, EX to CS, or PCT to EC.
• The only thing you should take care of is maintaining a good grade, for switching branches.

Thus, you are all free to change the branch if you fit the criteria of changing a branch.

If you've decided to enroll at UIT RGPV and are interested in learning more about ECE, yes, compared to all other branches, ECE is a good option. As some of my friends studied there, I might be able to share some facts about the college I got to know from them.

• The faculty only guides you with certain things. 
• Here you have to work hard to prepare yourself. You'll have to do everything on your own, which is ultimately done for your betterment.
• You will receive more theoretical knowledge than practical.
• Some of the faculty members might help you with the practicals, but otherwise, you have to take the initiative yourself.

If you are in ECE, there are chances that you will be placed in MNCs such as TCS, Infosys, and other IT companies, but there are very few chances that you will be placed in a core electronics company.
