B.Tech. in Information Technology (Lateral Entry) at JSPM University

JSPM University offers B.Tech. in Information Technology (Lateral Entry) as a 3-year undergraduate degree. Fees for the full course come to ₹4.47 lakh (roughly ₹1.49 lakh 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.
