IMSEC B.Tech Lateral CSE FAQs
Ques. Who can apply for B.Tech Lateral CSE at IMSEC?
Ans. Diploma holders with a three year engineering diploma in a relevant branch and at least 50 percent, or B.Sc graduates with Mathematics, can apply. Admission is through JEECUP lateral entry and UPTAC counselling. Lateral students complete six semesters across three years and earn the same degree as regular B.Tech graduates. The college provides computing laboratories, a central library and Wi-Fi enabled classrooms that support the three year lateral programme across its six semesters. Prospective applicants can also check the official AKTU and college admission notifications for confirmation.
Ques. What is the total fee for the lateral programme?
Ans. The three year tuition is INR 3,12,000, around INR 1,04,000 per year. Hostel and examination charges are billed separately from this tuition amount. The yearly tuition is generally payable in instalments through the college accounts office at the start of each session. Separate hostels for boys and girls are offered on a first come basis, with mess, round the clock security and basic amenities available on the campus. The college accounts office shares the detailed fee receipt and yearly payment schedule on enrolment.
Ques. Which year do lateral entry students join?
Ans. Lateral entry students join directly in the second year of the B.Tech programme. They complete the remaining three years and earn the same degree as students who enter in the first year. The Delhi NCR campus location helps lateral students reach internships and interviews at nearby technology firms. Faculty members hold postgraduate and doctoral qualifications and mentor lateral students through computing projects, seminars and regular industry interaction sessions. The curriculum is revised periodically in line with AKTU regulations and current industry needs.
Ques. How is admission decided for lateral CSE?
Ans. Admission rests on a valid JEECUP lateral entry rank followed by UPTAC counselling. Candidates fill choices, attend document verification and pay the seat acceptance fee before reporting to the campus. Bridge courses in the early semesters help diploma holders adjust to the degree level programming curriculum. Technical clubs, coding contests and student chapters help lateral learners build practical computing skills, leadership ability and a wider professional network on campus. The training and placement cell shares preparation resources well ahead of the recruitment season.
Ques. Are placements open to lateral students?
Ans. Yes. Lateral entry students join the same campus placement drives. Recent recruiters include Amazon and Kotak Mahindra, with a highest package of INR 50 LPA and an average near INR 6.5 LPA. Diploma marksheets, the JEECUP scorecard and a category certificate where relevant are required at document verification. The AKTU grading system uses credits and a cumulative grade point average, so steady performance across the six semesters shapes the final degree result. Counselling help centres across Uttar Pradesh assist candidates during the UPTAC document verification stage.
Ques. When do classes start for lateral entry students?
Ans. Classes are expected to begin in August 2026 after JEECUP results and UPTAC counselling conclude. Students report with original documents during the reporting window. Timely reporting at the campus is important, as delayed joining can lead to cancellation of the allotted seat. Refund of fees on withdrawal follows AKTU and college rules, and candidates are advised to confirm the exact policy before paying the seat acceptance amount. Students may visit the campus or join an online session to clear any remaining admission doubts.
