VNIT Nagpur does not provide lateral entry admission for any of its undergraduate or postgraduate programs. According to multiple official and educational sources, VNIT Nagpur (and all NITs in the country) does not offer lateral entry (direct admission to the second year) for B.Tech, B.Arch, or other courses—this is similar to the policy followed by IITs. All admissions are strictly entrance-based and follow the standard merit and counseling processes.
