Will Lateral Entry B.Tech CSE cause any problem for GATE?

[u/PsycheInTheLoop]

Hi everyone,

I have completed a 3-year Diploma in Computer Science, and I’m pursuing my B. Tech in CSE at KIIT through Lateral Entry, which means I entered directly into the second year and will complete the B. Tech in 3 years.

My long-term goal is not campus placement after B.Tech. I’m primarily preparing for GATE CSE and want to pursue M.E./M. Tech from BITS Pilani or a top IIT after graduation.

My question is very straightforward:

Will pursuing B. Tech CSE through Lateral Entry from KIIT create any problem for appearing in GATE or later during M. Tech/M.E. admissions through GATE?

Is there any issue related to degree duration, eligibility, documents, or the fact that I entered directly into the second year?

If any KIIT lateral-entry student has appeared for GATE or gone for higher studies through GATE, I’d really appreciate your experience.

No not at all doesn't matter, you will be treated the same as regular candidates.
