B.Tech

Hello Swathikala, it's very tough to guess whether a particular college can give you free seat or not. In fact nowadays the concept of free seats has almost vanished, at least in the government colleges though different departments of government provide scholarships to different categories of students to enable them to pursue their studies. On the other hand private colleges offer scholarships at various percentages to the students but this is invariably based on their academic performance and usually this is done to attract brilliant students. In view of this I would advise you to contact the intended college where you are seeking admission and seek this information from their administrative department since this is not available in public domain.
Best wishes to you.

When you mention best college, there comes only one name in my mind and that's of Lovely Professional University. One of my friend pursued CSE from LPU and she told that LPU provides the latest curriculum which is accepted at industry level, industrial exposures and the best placement depending upon the caliber of the student. B.Tech from LPU provides wonderful experience and handsome salary packages. Apart from core courses and Minors, LPU provides specialisation also in Cyber Security, Cloud Computing, Machine Learning, Full Stack Web Development, Big Data etc. With a great curriculum which is benchmarked with foreign universities. The students are encouraged to undertake assignments/project work from the industry and work towards finding possible solutions to integrate their theoretical knowledge with industrial practices. Keeping in view the employment potential, in-depth knowledge is provided to the students through department electives in computer networks, artificial intelligence, databases and information systems as well as computer programming and algorithms. Every year nearly 800 companies visit for campus-recruitment of students. The companies which have visited as of now are: Microsoft, Google, Oracle, Amazon, Cognizant Technology Solutions, TCS, Tech Mahindra, Amdocs, Capgemini, Verizon, SAP Labs, Hitachi Power, Videocon, L&T Technology Services, Ericsson, HCL Technologies etc. So, I personally feel that LPU is best for CSE.

Hello shubham, lateral entry in either software engineering or any other branch of engineering is by the same method. Some States conduct an entrance exam for those who have passed Diploma in engineering and are desirous of seeking lateral admission in engineering courses. On the other hand some States give admission to second year of engineering by lateral mode based on marks obtained in Diploma examination. I would advise you to check the website of the directorate of technical education of your state to know the details. One more information will be available on the site that is the eligibility for different graduation courses Best wishes to you.
