As of now, Thapar Institute of Engineering and Technology hasn't announced the 2026 schedule for B.Tech lateral entry admissions. The dates are usually released on the official admissions portal once the admission process begins.

If you are not able to get admission in a government college, then you can also take lateral entry admission in private colleges through CUET, JEE, or direct admission process.

Yes, GITAMN University does offer lateral entry into its BTech course for interested students. Candidates who wish to gain lateral entry into the 2nd year of BTech need to either clear a BSc course with Mathematics as one of the subjects or clear a Diploma in engineering and technology. The candidate must score a minimum aggregate of 60% in both cases.
