B.Tech in Computer Science & Engineering (Lateral) at TMU

TMU, Moradabad, Uttar Pradesh, offers B.Tech in Computer Science & Engineering (Lateral) as a 3-year undergraduate degree. Fees for the full course come to ₹4.49 lakh – ₹7.7 lakh (roughly ₹1.5 lakh a year).

Expect to spend most of your time on programming, data structures and algorithms, databases, operating systems, computer networks and software engineering, with a steady diet of lab work and projects.

TMU is a other institute, founded in 2008. This page brings together what is on record for this course at TMU — fees, seats, eligibility, the admission route and placements — so you can judge it before you apply.

Most B.Tech programmes follow a similar pattern: the first year builds the foundations (mathematics, science and programming), the middle years go deep into the subject, and the final year is given over to electives, a major project and usually an internship.

Here that means programming, data structures and algorithms, databases, operating systems, computer networks and software engineering, with a steady diet of lab work and projects. Typical first jobs: software developer, full-stack engineer, QA engineer or systems analyst. Many graduates also go on to a master's degree.

The exact syllabus is set by the college or its affiliating university and changes from year to year, so ask TMU for the current semester-wise plan.

The fee figures on record for this course are below. Fees are for the whole course unless marked otherwise, and apply to B.Tech programmes at TMU as a group.

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

To get into B.Tech in Computer Science & Engineering (Lateral), 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 TMU's prospectus for the exact cut-off this year.

In most years, admission follows these steps:

1. Check that you meet the eligibility above and register for the entrance exam in time.
2. Take state lateral-entry tests (such as LEET) and keep your scorecard.
3. Apply to TMU on its website (tmu.ac.in) or through the enquiry form on this page, and take part in counselling if a state or central body runs it.
4. Once you are offered a seat, verify your documents (marksheets, ID, category certificate if any) and pay the admission fee to confirm it.

The most recent placement data we hold (2023) show a placement rate of 82% and a highest package of ₹60 lakh at TMU. These are college-wide figures, not only for this specialisation.

Placement numbers vary a lot by year and by branch. Ask the placement cell for the branch-wise report of the last two batches.

TMU runs 7 B.Tech specialisations in all. If this one is not quite right, compare it with:

• B.Tech. in Electronics and Communication Engineering
• B.Tech. in Computer Science and Engineering
• B.Tech. in Computer Science and Engineering (Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning and Deep Learning)
• B.Tech. in Civil Engineering
• B.Tech. in Mechanical Engineering
• B.Tech. in Computer Science and Engineering (Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning and Deep Learning) (Lateral Entry)

Ask yourself — and the college — these questions first:

• Are you genuinely interested in programming? You will spend 3 years on it.
• Can you manage ₹4.49 lakh – ₹7.7 lakh over the course, plus hostel and living costs? Ask about scholarships and education loans.
• Are the placement figures above good enough for your goals? Ask for the branch-wise numbers.
• How does TMU compare with other colleges offering B.Tech in and around Moradabad?
