All about UIT-RGPV, Bhopal

I am a student in Information technology. I believe the course is a bit outdated as we are also taught a lot of electronics subjects as well. The labs included with this course are good and provide real practical knowledge and also prepares you for the industry. However, the course can be improved by including more practical subjects and removing some subjective ones. The timing of exams is very uncertain and hinders with your preparation. hence that can also be improved.

Internship opportunities are limited in Bhopal but not scarce. I got a 10,000 per month internship at opensense labs. It was an on campus opportunity. Moreover, every year there is an on campus opportunity to intern at Appointy which offers a stipend of about rs.25,000 to 30,000.

Placements are decent with an average package of 3.5 lpa and a median package of around 3 lpa. Some people do very well in off campus placements wherein they got a package of 54lpa in Google, 45lpa in Amazon etc. About 70% of the students get placed from the CS/IT branches and 50% students from the other core branches. Some of the companies that frequently visit the campus are TCS, Cognizant, Mckinley Rice, Opensense Labs, Appointy, Persistent Systems, etc. I plan to do an MBA after this degree. I get plenty of time to prepare for CAT as there is no 75% attendance criteria in 4th year.

The annual fee for the college is 32000 rupees which is a very minimal fee. Moreover, reserved categories like obc, ews, st/st get a fee waiver and must pay only Rs.500 per year. they are also exempted from paying exam form fees or any other fee. No extra charges are levied on the fee and it is constant for the entire 4 year duration. There is another scholarship scheme called Medhavi wherein anyone with an annual income of less than 8 lakhs and a minimum aggregate of 65% in their 10th and 12th can avail of it. There are also some scholarships available for single girl child. All in all, studying here is very cheap and you can also get a good Return on Investment by getting placed in a decent company like TCS.

There is a sports fest organised every year called Mahasangram in April and a cultural fest called Shankhnaad in October. The cultural fests have stopped since last year because the club is not active anymore. The library is one of the best places in the college. Also it has a plethora of books to choose from ranging from management to technology. You can also borrow them for upto a semester that is 6 months. Classrooms have a black board and do not have a smart board. The labs have latest HP core i7 computers. There are a lot of college clubs like E-cell, GDSC, Asper etc whicb you can participate in.

hostel rooms have an occupancy of 2 people. They charge 6000 Rs per year for a room and rs.2000 each month as mess fee. The food here is decent and you can also opt for tiffin centre food. Registration for hostel can be done from campus only.

I have taken admission in this college because it is the state technological university of madhya pradesh. It is a reputed govt college and the fee here is also very affordable. All the other colleges I had applied to like VIT, LNCT, SRM charged enormous fee and did not have very good placements. That is why I did not choose them. Admission is done through JEE mains and a minimum of 88 percentile is required to secure a seat in the top branches like CSE and IT. For this college, you have to apply through the MP DTE counselling which has 3 rounds.

The faculty to student is 1 faculty for every 40 students. Professors are highly qualified and eager to help students especially in research related work. They give good guidance and are lenient in attendance criteria. Some of the best faculties include Shifa Manihar, Asmita Moghe, Ratish Agrawal. They are always eager to help and assist. Exams here are not very tough and can be easily cracked by practicing previous year questions. the course curriculum is up to date.
