Hi there,
The total number of seats for lateral entry students in DTU are very low with about 30-50 seats in total.

Hello Pratyush,
In general, civil engineering is for those who do 10+2 system rather than Diploma. And civil engineering (lateral entry) is for those who have completed Diploma. Lateral entry is admission directly into the second year of engineering. For that, He/she must have completed a Diploma in their respective branch to be eligible for the lateral entry programme. One may also need to clear the entrance exams if required.
