B.Tech lateral entry

The B.Tech lateral entry is a wonderful option for diploma engineers to augment their qualification & complete B.Tech in 3 years.

The B.Tech Lateral entry allows diploma engineers to get direct admission in the 2nd year of B.tech & complete an engineering degree in 3 years.

This not only saves time but also costs because they pay fees for 3 years instead of 4.

Many a time, owing to financial constraints, many students have to give up studies after class10th.

For them, an engineering diploma is the ideal stepping stone for an illustrious engineering career.

After working for a few years, these students can augment their skills by pursuing B.Tech through lateral entry, which completes in 3 years as diploma engineers get direct admission in the 2nd year of B.tech.

Most production units prefer diploma engineers because they have hands-on skills vital to the job. They add value to the production domain by ensuring quantity and quality.

Through work experience, they sharpen practical skills which companies value the most.

Many organizations like ONGC, GAIL, NTPC etc. launch special recruitment drives to hire diploma engineers because they have hands-on skills vital for production units.
