IIMT Greater Noida B.Tech Lateral FAQs
Ques. What JEECUP score is needed to get admission to IIMT Greater Noida B.Tech Lateral Entry?
Ans. IIMT does not publish official JEECUP cutoff scores in advance. Your seat allotment through UPTAC depends on your JEECUP rank, the number of applicants for that specialization, and seat availability at IIMT. CSE and AI branches typically see higher demand than Civil or Mechanical. Checking the UPTAC previous year allotment data on uptac.admissions.nic.in gives a practical range for IIMT’s cutoffs.
