SAHE University B.Tech {Lateral} Civil Engineering: Fees 2026, Course Duration, Dates, Eligibility

Ans. The Civil Engineering department at SAHE University has a legacy of over four decades since its establishment in 1977. It offers unique facilities like the KCP Limited 3D-Concrete Printing Facility and BOSCH Power Tools Lab, which are not commonly found in most engineering colleges. The department has generated Rs. 7.7 crores in consultancy projects and holds 24 granted patents, indicating strong research activity. Lateral entry students benefit from these facilities from the 3rd semester onwards. Additionally, students can pursue a Minor degree in CSE, IT, or ECE alongside Civil Engineering, enhancing their employability in both core and IT sectors.

Ans. Graduates of B.Tech Civil Engineering from SAHE University are recruited by infrastructure, construction, and government sector organizations. Notable recruiters include Sobha Developers (Dubai, 13.75 LPA), MEIL (4.6 LPA for 19 students), Kalpataruvu Projects (4.5 LPA), KI-Tech (5.2 LPA), TCS Digital (7.2 LPA), Pennar Industries, BSR Infra, and NRSC-ISRO. Common roles include Site Engineer, Structural Design Engineer, Project Manager, Quality Control Engineer, and Civil Estimator. The average CTC from the department is 2.34 LPA, with the highest being 13.75 LPA. Students can also pursue M.Tech in Structural Engineering (offered at SAHE itself) or appear for GATE for higher studies.

Ans. Yes, the lateral entry intake is quite limited. The approved regular intake for B.Tech Civil Engineering is 60 seats, and lateral entry seats are capped at 10% supernumerary, meaning only up to 6 lateral entry seats are available. Any unfilled first-year seats may also be added to the lateral entry pool. Given the small number of seats, it is advisable to secure a good AP ECET rank and apply early through the counselling process. For unfilled seats, direct admission is possible based on diploma merit at admissions.siddhartha.edu.in.

Ans. Yes, SAHE University allows B.Tech Civil Engineering students to pursue a Minor degree in Computer Science Engineering, Information Technology, or Electronics and Communication Engineering. This is a significant advantage for lateral entry students who wish to enhance their skill set and improve their employability in the IT sector alongside their core civil engineering education. The Minor degree program is integrated into the curriculum and does not require separate admission. Students should confirm the availability and eligibility criteria for the Minor degree with the academic office at the time of joining.

Ans. Candidates with a Diploma in Civil Engineering, Construction Technology, or closely related branches with a minimum of 50% marks are generally eligible for lateral entry into B.Tech Civil Engineering. The exact list of eligible diploma branches is specified in the AP ECET notification each year by APSCHE/JNTU Anantapur. Candidates should verify their branch eligibility in the official AP ECET 2026 instruction booklet available at cets.apsche.ap.gov.in before applying.

Ans. Yes, the Civil Engineering department at SAHE University has placed students with government and PSU organizations. Notable examples include NRSC-ISRO Hyderabad (3 LPA) and MEIL (Megha Engineering and Infrastructures Ltd, 4.6 LPA for 19 students). Students can also appear for government recruitment exams like APPSC AEE (Assistant Executive Engineer), GATE for PSU recruitment, and SSC JE after completing the B.Tech degree. The department's strong research background and consultancy projects also open doors for government-funded research positions and project-based employment.
