B.Tech. in Information Technology (Lateral Entry) at GMRIT

GMRIT, Andhra Pradesh - Other, Andhra Pradesh, offers B.Tech. in Information Technology (Lateral Entry) as a 3-year undergraduate degree. There are 12 seats in each batch. Fees for the full course come to ₹2.64 lakh – ₹3.03 lakh (roughly ₹88,000 a year).

Lateral entry lets diploma holders (and, at many colleges, B.Sc. graduates) join directly in the second year, so the degree takes a year less. The subjects are the same as the regular programme from the second year on.

GMRIT is a private institute, founded in 1997. This page brings together what is on record for this course at GMRIT — fees, seats, eligibility, the admission route and placements — so you can judge it before you apply.

Colleges revise fees most years, and hostel, transport and exam charges are often billed separately. Confirm the current figure with GMRIT before you pay anything.

To get into B.Tech. in Information Technology (Lateral Entry), you usually need a three-year diploma in engineering (or, at many colleges, a B.Sc. with Mathematics).

Admission to this kind of course is usually through state lateral-entry tests (such as LEET). Reserved-category candidates generally get a relaxation in the minimum marks. Check GMRIT's prospectus for the exact cut-off this year.

In most years, admission follows these steps:
