Categorize Colleges as per Your Demands: Every aspiring engineering students have different needs from a college.

Degrees offered in a college: A few engineering colleges offer you a degree of Bachelor’s in Engineering and some offer Bachelors in Technology. There is not much difference between the two; previously Rungta Group of Institutions was rendering B.E degree to the students but now, we have adapted to B. Tech degree too. Some colleges have only core domains like – mechanical and civil engineering. They don’t have Information Technology and Computer Science Engineering and vice versa which is not a good thing. Choose a college that has all engineering streams such as – Agriculture Engineering, Automobile Engineering, Computer Science Engineering, Civil Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Electrical and Electronics Engineering, Electronics and Telecommunication Engineering, Information Technology, Mechanical Engineering and Mining Engineering. When a college has all these aforementioned streams, you can trust in their credibility.

Your Preferred Location: Some aspiring students are looking for a college that is situated in a city and a few want colleges in rural areas as it might be near their home or native place.

Rungta Group of Institutions has two campuses; the first one is in Bhilai and the other in Raipur, so you can choose which suits you the best.

Government College or Private College: Most of the government colleges have a lower fee structure and you might have guessed by now that private colleges demand more fees. Here, you have to consider the quality of delivery as well; private colleges have a higher quality of education as compared to government colleges. The fee of private college is higher because they have better infrastructure, top-quality faculty members & guest lecturers and outstanding hostel amenities. A private college pays more attention to training and placement and is more concerned with recruitment activities as opposed to government engineering colleges.

The aspiring students have to provide a domicile certificate for the same and they can avail financial help of some sort from the government.

Do you know that the tuition fees of the initial 5% of admission that takes place in a particular branch is completely waived-off for the students? It means the initial 5% of students of a branch (say mechanical engineering) won’t have to pay the tuition fee. Isn’t that great?

Availability of Campus Resources: The best engineering college must have all these amenities in their campus – hi-tech laboratories, eclectic central library, good accreditations, Research and Development Center of its own, computer and Wi-Fi access, online portal, state-of-the-art infrastructure and hostel amenities along with highly experienced faculty members.

Many colleges are adopting these in recent times but at Rungta College, this fashion has been in existence for the last 12 years.

A balanced mix of Gender, Diversity and Community of Students: At Rungta Group of Institutions, we maintain a gender ratio of 50%; i.e. 50% boys and 50 girls.
