PVSCET B.E. Lateral FAQs
Ques. Does the B.E. Lateral Entry degree from PVSCET look different from a regular B.E. on the certificate?

The lateral entry route is simply an alternate admission pathway for Diploma holders and carries full equivalence for GATE, PSU recruitment, and postgraduate admission purposes.
