IMSEC B.Tech Lateral IT FAQs
Ques. Who is eligible for B.Tech Lateral IT here?
Ans. Diploma holders in a relevant engineering branch with at least 50 percent, or B.Sc graduates with Mathematics, are eligible. Admission runs through JEECUP lateral entry and UPTAC counselling for seat allotment. Lateral entry covers six semesters over three years and leads to the same B.Tech degree as the regular route. The college provides information technology 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 fee for the lateral IT programme?
Ans. The three year tuition totals INR 3,12,000, about INR 1,04,000 per year. Hostel and yearly examination charges are separate from the tuition fee. Tuition can usually be paid in yearly instalments through the accounts office at the start of each academic year. 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. How is lateral IT different from regular B.Tech IT?
Ans. Lateral entry students skip the first year and join the second year directly, completing the degree in three years. The curriculum, fee per year and final degree remain the same as the regular programme. The NCR location gives lateral IT students easy access to internships at software and IT services companies nearby. Faculty members hold postgraduate and doctoral qualifications and mentor lateral students through information technology projects, seminars and regular industry interaction sessions. The curriculum is revised periodically in line with AKTU regulations and current industry needs.
Ques. What does the IT curriculum include?
Ans. The branch covers programming, web technologies, databases, networking, cloud computing and information systems. Laboratory and project work gives practical exposure to building and managing software systems. Early bridge subjects help diploma holders settle into the degree level information technology coursework. Technical clubs, coding contests and student chapters help lateral learners build practical information technology 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 lateral IT students placed on campus?
Ans. Yes. They take part in the same placement drives with recruiters like Amazon and Chetu. The campus highest package was INR 50 LPA with an average around INR 6.5 LPA. Candidates must carry diploma marksheets and the JEECUP scorecard for the UPTAC document verification step. 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 does the lateral IT batch begin?
Ans. The batch is expected to start classes in August 2026 after JEECUP results and UPTAC counselling are complete. Reporting with original documents finalises the admission. Reporting on time matters, since late joining after allotment may cancel the confirmed 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.
