Lateral entry

Hello Mahesh,
Unfortunately, no authentic information is available anywhere about the cut-offs for lateral entry.

It's 85% for the open category.

Hello Deepak,
The principal aim of lateral entry is to save on one year before getting graduation degree. But B.Tech with evening classes does not fit into this since it takes more time in any case than normal B.Tech. However, I would advise you to approach your intended college administration for clarification.

Hello Manash,
Diploma is a stepping stone for graduation. Hence, surely, you can change branch at the time of lateral entry. But unfortunately, every state has its own rules and hence which branches you can select is entirely dependent on this. Hence you will have to seek an answer to this on the webpage of DTE of Tech. Edu of your state.

Let me explain to you. It's very simple. Suppose you have opted to do 3 years diploma course. ( in Civil or Mechanical or Electrical or electronics or branches like that ) After your diploma you feel like doing b.tech or B.E then you can get admission in those colleges through a method called 'lateral entry'. If you get admission through lateral entry you will directly go to second year of your engineering graduation. Admission procedures are different for this entry.
