Lakshmi Narain College of Technology - [LNCT], Bhopal - Hostel Details

No, It is not compulsory for first-year students to opt for Hostel facilities at LNCT Bhopal. However, if you are going to be in Bhopal for the first time or if you are unfamiliar with the city, I would recommend staying in a hostel at LNCT Bhopal.

The benefits of opting for a hostel as a first-year student (or fresher) at LNCT are as follows.

• No Bus fee would be charged.
• Lesser time consumption for travel especially to and from the college campus.
• Easy access to the library for more hours.
• You will get the chance to enjoy and interact with more of your friends and batch mate that would also increase your college activity on the campus.
• Exam, mid-semester, and external benefits are all available (you will know more about it after you join LNCT).

There are many other benefits of choosing Hostel facilities at LNCT which you would realize only after joining the college. You can travel to marketplaces or other spots of the city with local buses that are readily available every 15 minutes from the campus of LNCT. Local modes of transportation like Auto are also available near the premises of the college.

There are hostel facilities available for First-year students and it is comparatively superior to all colleges in the city. LNCT has a reputation for having a good discipline, this helps them to maintain a superior quality of education too. You can see the same discipline in the Hostel facility and it makes up for a very good environment to be productive.

The Hostel has rules and regulations of its own for you to follow. The facility is optional. You may or may not choose to live on campus. You need to follow the rules and not damage any property, it will be a smooth sail for you then. The campus also follows a strict anti-ragging policy so your stay is safe.

There are various facilities available if you choose to live on campus:

• The mess serves 4 meals a day with a slight variation in the menu. You can avail these meals complimentary with your accommodation.
• There is a TV room for entertainment purposes
• There is a reading room for students to work together in groups and also do some light reading or studying
• You can play Table tennis, badminton, football, Cricket in the TT room or on the ground.
• There is a gym too but you will be charged extra if you choose to sign up for it.

You should definitely choose to live on campus because you will find the best people there and make friends for a lifetime. Also, making memories while you are still in college is still something we all want.

My cousin is currently studying in LNCT Bhopal and he stays in a PG too. If you are looking for some good stays nearby LNCT then you can go for the following localities that have good pgs.

• Anand Nagar
• Patel Nagar nearby Oriental,
• Piplani
• Ayodhya Bypass
• Indrapuri

Although it totally depends on your preferences, the best localities for joining some coaching or arts/theatre clubs are MP Nagar like Bharti Niketan, Gautam Nagar, and all the places nearby Chetak.

While if you are just a fresher in the college, it is highly recommended to go for hostels and enjoy the hostel life for at least one year. You will also get hostels in all these places mentioned above, as the LNCT campus hostels are full of restrictions such as in and out timings, bad mess food facilities, and no complaint board, etc.
