IILM University B.Tech Lateral CSE FAQs
Ques. What is the total fee for the lateral programme?
Ans. The total course fee is INR 6,75,000 for the three-year lateral programme, payable at about INR 2,25,000 each year. Hostel and mess charges of roughly INR 1,42,000 a year are charged separately. Merit and early bird scholarships can reduce the tuition outgo, and the fee can be paid annually rather than as a single lump sum at the very start of the academic year.
Ques. Who is eligible for lateral entry admission?
Ans. Candidates who hold a three-year engineering diploma in a relevant branch with a minimum of 50 percent marks are eligible for direct entry into the second year. B.Sc graduates with mathematics may also apply. Selection is based on diploma merit and a personal interview rather than a national entrance test. Around 15 percent of seats are also offered under the management quota for candidates who meet the eligibility norms, and applications are accepted online throughout the rolling admission window until the seats are filled.
Ques. What does the curriculum focus on?
Ans. The B.Tech Lateral CSE curriculum focuses on programming, data structures, databases, software engineering and emerging computing technologies, supported by well-equipped computing labs. Lateral students join the second year and cover the core and advanced subjects of the branch over the remaining three years alongside regular students. Live projects, internships and a final-year capstone help students apply theory to real industry problems before graduation. Electives and industry certifications let students sharpen their focus and build a portfolio that improves their hiring prospects.
Ques. What career roles can graduates expect?
Ans. Graduates typically move into software developer, web and application engineer, quality analyst and support engineer roles across the IT and software industry. The programme also prepares students for higher study, government recruitment and competitive examinations. The placement cell supports interview readiness through training, aptitude practice and campus drives, helping lateral-entry students compete on equal terms with regular candidates. Soft-skills sessions and mock interviews in the final year further improve their readiness for recruitment.
Ques. Are scholarships available for lateral students?
Ans. Yes. IILM offers merit scholarships based on diploma performance, an early bird concession for applicants in the first window, and sports and cultural awards. Education loan assistance is available for all eligible candidates. Scholarships should be claimed at admission, as the concession is adjusted against the first-year tuition fee rather than refunded later. The scholarship slabs are reviewed each year against academic performance.
Ques. Is hostel accommodation available on campus?
Ans. Yes. The Greater Noida campus provides separate hostel accommodation for boys and girls with mess, security and basic amenities. The hostel fee of about INR 1,42,000 a year is charged separately from the course fee and covers lodging and dining. The campus also offers libraries, laboratories, sports facilities and transport for outstation students. Rooms are allotted on a first-come basis at the start of the session, so early applicants get a wider choice.
