Diploma in Engineering (Lateral Entry) at SRMU Lucknow

SRMU Lucknow, Lucknow, Uttar Pradesh, offers Diploma in Engineering (Lateral Entry) as a 2-year diploma degree. There are 48 seats in each batch. The total fee on record is ₹1.1 lakh, which works out to about ₹55,000 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.
