Can bsc students join BE course laterally

Dear vinay As per the 2013-2014 AICTE guidelines, students who have obtained a B.Sc. degree with at least 45 per cent marks and who have passed class 12 with mathematics as a subject are eligible. However, they are expected to clear engineering graphics or engineering drawing and engineering mechanics of the first year engineering syllabus along with the second-year subjects. The B.Sc. graduates have to appear for Common Entrance Test (CET) conducted exclusively for lateral entry students, who also include diploma students. The CET for lateral entry students is likely to be held in June. However, the government is yet to arrive at the percentage of seats that will be allotted to the scheme. Thousands of engineering seats go abegging every year; last year nearly 25,000 were vacant, which include private and government seats. Hope this resolves your query Regards aSHISH
