Lateral entry

Hello,
First, it is brought out that the concept of lateral entry is there in engineering colleges but this concept is not available for entry into a B.Sc course. This is so since after 10th, there is a possibility of going for a 3-year Diploma course followed by 3-years engineering by lateral entry thus making it a 6-year programme after 10th before one can graduate as an engineer. (10+3+3), same years if one takes engineering via normal route (10+2+4). However, this facility is not available for B.Sc students hence it's a simple course of three years after 12th. It is to be remembered that hardware and networking are actually specialisations in the study of engineering and not available in detail during the study of B.Sc. However, there is a course available called B.Sc (computers) that covers these topics to some extent. List of such colleges is attached as a link:
