Siddhant College of Engineering Sudumbare BE {Lateral}: Fees 2026, Course Duration, Dates, Eligibility

Ans. Cross-branch eligibility for DSY B.E. CAP is governed by DTE Maharashtra’s branch mapping rules. Computer Engineering Diploma holders are generally eligible for Computer, IT, AI and DS, and AI and ML branches. Candidates should verify the specific branch eligibility matrix published on cetcell.mahacet.org once the DSY B.E. CAP 2026 notification is released, as exact permissible combinations are updated each year.

Ans. Yes. The SPPU B.E. degree awarded to lateral entry students at SCOE is identical to the regular 4-year B.E. degree, both in title and recognition. There is no distinction on the degree certificate. For M.E. admission via GATE and DTE PG CAP, and for employment in central/state government, PSUs, and private companies, the B.E. Lateral Entry degree is fully equivalent to the regular B.E.

Ans. Yes. After completing B.E. (whether through regular or lateral entry route) at SCOE, graduates can apply for M.E. at SCOE through the DTE Maharashtra PG CAP based on GATE score. SCOE offers M.E. in Computer Engineering, Design Engineering, Embedded System and VLSI Design, and Information Technology. The same FRA-approved M.E. fee of INR 91,000 (2 years) applies.

Ans. B.E. Lateral Entry students skip the First Year of the regular B.E. curriculum and join directly at Second Year. DTE Maharashtra mandates a bridge course for lateral entry students to cover key First Year topics before Second Year subjects begin. At SCOE, this bridge course is delivered as part of the admission induction; students do not sit for First Year SPPU examinations but must clear all Second Year onwards papers for the B.E. degree.

Ans. Typically required documents include: Diploma marksheets for all semesters, Diploma passing certificate, SSC marksheet and certificate, transfer certificate from the polytechnic, domicile certificate, caste and non-creamy layer certificate (if applicable), and the DSY CAP allotment letter. Candidates should carry original documents plus 2 sets of attested photocopies. The exact document checklist is published on cetcell.mahacet.org with the DSY B.E. CAP notification.
