What is Lateral Entry?
A faster route to completing your technical degree.
Lateral Entry is a direct admission process that allows eligible students to bypass the first year of a higher education program and join directly in the 2nd Year (3rd Semester).
The admission process differs completely based on your target program. For B.E./B.Tech and B.Pharmacy, students must pass the Online Common Entrance Test (OCET) conducted by HSTES. For Diploma Lateral Entry, admission is strictly merit-based on your qualifying marks.
