Aravali Institute of Technical Studies Udaipur B.Tech {Lateral} Computer Science & Engineering: Fees 2026, Course Duration, Dates, Eligibility

Ans. The regular B.Tech (CSE) is a 4-year programme starting from the 1st year, open to Class 12 (PCM) students. The B.Tech Lateral Entry (CSE) is for diploma holders who directly join the 2nd year of the B.Tech programme, completing the degree in 3 years instead of 4. Both programmes lead to the same RTU-affiliated B.Tech degree in Computer Science and Engineering. The lateral entry route saves one year and is more cost-effective for diploma engineers who want to upgrade their qualification without repeating the foundational year.

Ans. Diploma holders in Computer Engineering, Computer Science, Information Technology, and related disciplines are eligible for lateral entry into B.Tech (CSE) at AITS Udaipur. Candidates with B.Sc.
