B.Tech. in Computer Science Engineering (Lateral Entry) at LDC Institute of Technical Studies

LDC Institute of Technical Studies, Allahabad, Uttar Pradesh, offers B.Tech. in Computer Science Engineering (Lateral Entry) as a 3-year undergraduate degree. The total fee on record is ₹2 lakh, which works out to about ₹67,000 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.
