NMIMS Mumbai B.Tech Lateral Computer Engineering FAQs
Ques. Can a student with an Electronics or Mechanical Diploma apply for B.Tech Lateral Computer Engineering at NMIMS?
Ans. Yes, NMIMS Mumbai’s MPSTME accepts Diploma holders from any engineering specialization for lateral entry into B.Tech Computer Engineering.

Ques. What is NMIMS-CET and how is it different from NPAT?
Ans. NMIMS-CET, also known as NCET, is the Common Entrance Test conducted by NMIMS specifically for lateral entry B.Tech and other engineering programmes.

Lateral entry candidates must register for and appear in the NMIMS-CET test and should not confuse it with the NPAT registration portal.

Ans. The B.Tech Lateral Entry programme at NMIMS Mumbai is a 3-year full-time degree. Diploma holders are admitted directly into the second year of the B.Tech programme, bypassing the first year. This means they complete the degree in 3 years instead of 4, making the lateral route a time-efficient pathway to earning a full B.Tech from a deemed university.
Ques. What is the minimum Diploma percentage required for B.Tech lateral entry at NMIMS?
Ans. The minimum eligibility for B.Tech lateral entry at NMIMS Mumbai is a Diploma in Engineering from a recognized polytechnic institution with at least 45% aggregate marks.
