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

Ans. Yes, candidates with a Diploma in Electronics, Electrical Instrumentation, or Computer Engineering are eligible for lateral entry into B.Tech Electrical Engineering at AITS through Rajasthan LEEP. As per LEEP branch-wise eligibility, diploma holders in Computer, Electronics, Information Technology, Electronics (Fiber Optics), Electronics (Bio-Medical), and Electrical Instrumentation can apply for B.Tech Electrical Engineering. However, seat allotment is merit-based, and candidates with a Diploma in Electrical Engineering typically get priority for this branch.

Ans. B.Tech Electrical Engineering from an RTU-affiliated college opens doors to a wide range of career opportunities. Graduates can work in power sector companies (NTPC, PGCIL, DISCOMS), manufacturing industries, automation firms, and government departments (PWD, CPWD, Railways). The degree is also valid for GATE, which can lead to PSU jobs (BHEL, ONGC, IOCL) and M.Tech admissions at IITs/NITs. Many AITS electrical engineering graduates have joined companies like Siemens, Havells, and Exide, as well as the Indian Army through technical entry schemes.

Ans. No, from the 3rd semester onwards, lateral entry students are merged with the regular B.Tech batch. They attend the same classes, labs, and examinations as regular students. The only difference is that lateral entry students join directly in the 3rd semester, having already completed their diploma. This means the peer group includes both lateral and regular entry students, which can be beneficial for networking and learning from diverse backgrounds.

Ans. AITS provides separate hostel facilities for boys and girls. The hostels are WiFi-enabled and include amenities such as a gym, TV room, indoor games (table tennis, carom, chess), and outdoor sports facilities. Hostel fee is INR 65,000 per year for triple-seated rooms and INR 75,000 per year for double-seated rooms. Hostel is completely optional - students can also opt to be day scholars and use the college bus service. The college provides a free bus facility for the 2026-27 batch, with routes covering various areas around Udaipur.

Ans. The Rajasthan LEEP counselling is conducted online by the Centre for Electronic Governance (CEG), Rajasthan. After registering on cegrajasthan.in and paying INR 1,180, you fill in your preferred colleges and branches in order of preference. A merit list is prepared based on your diploma percentage. Seat allotment is done based on your merit rank and the choices you filled. If you get AITS Electrical Engineering in the allotment, you report to the college with original documents and pay the fees. The entire process is online, and there are multiple rounds of counselling for vacant seats. AITS also accepts direct management quota admissions outside of LEEP.

Ans. Yes, absolutely. The B.Tech (Electrical Engineering) degree from AITS, awarded by Rajasthan Technical University (RTU), Kota, is fully recognized for GATE examination. GATE Electrical Engineering (EE) is one of the most popular papers with strong PSU recruitment - companies like BHEL, NTPC, PGCIL, IOCL, ONGC, and BPCL recruit through GATE scores. The lateral entry route does not affect GATE eligibility in any way. Students are advised to start GATE preparation from the 3rd semester itself to maximize their chances of scoring well.
