Engineering Admission Process

I am a student of ICFAI University, Dehradun. The eligibility for B.Tech (lateral entry) is either you have completed the Diploma course or you are in the last year of Diploma with 50-55% aggregate in any one of the following branches:
Civil Engineering
Computer Science and Engineering
Electrical and Electronics Engineering
Electronics and Communication Engineering
Mechanical Engineering
Mechatronics
Mining Engineering

Institute of Engineering and Management does not have Civil Engineering. However, it does have Mechanical Engineering branch where placement is good.

You have some limited chances. Yet also, you have lots of option. Firstly, search on NET some of government colleges locally. Then, give the exam for private universities for B.Tech lateral entry. You will easily get the admission in B.Tech lateral entry, but you should be careful with the ranks and marks while taking the exams.

Yes, it is a very good way to pursue both. Also, you will get two degree, one is of Diploma and other is of B.Tech course, which will increase your experience. But, be attentive while pursuing the B.Tech course, because it is more practical based than the Diploma degree. It might led you to face some problem in starting. Also, as coin has two faces you have to face some disadvantage and advantage too while doing B.Tech regular way and you are in a lateral student.

If you are born on or after 1st July, 1996 and completed Diploma or its equivalent with minimum 60% aggregate marks. Then only you are eligible to appear for the admission test. Admission into B.Tech Lateral Entry Programmes will be through VUCET on-line test, conducted by Vignan's University or qualify in E-CET. You have to contact with Vignan's University for further details.
