Hello Princy,

Good morning. Hope you are doing well.

You have to comply the criterion for getting admission in B.Tech Civil Engineering under DTU. These are,

• You have to pass the higher secondary examination with at least 60% marks in aggregate from a recognized board.
• You have to score good marks in JEE main exam followed by Joint Admission Counselling (JAC). The final admission is based on the score of this exam.

But as you said you are thinking about lateral entry in B.Tech in Civil Engineering in DTU, the criterion is a little different. Like this,

• You must hold a diploma degree of three years in any branch of Engineering awarded by any State Board of Technical Education or Diploma recognized by AICTE, Delhi with 60% marks or equivalent CGPA.

I don't think that you need to have any kind of job experience for getting admission in lateral entry programmes of Civil Engineering department of DTU (Delhi Technological University). It is not mandatory. You can go with this course without any job experience. It will not make difficulties for you.

Lateral Entry is no doubt a better choice. It is better than joining jobs after completing diploma. It is much more beneficial for you as you are a diploma holder. You possess more knowledge than a twelve pass student. There is a chance to get a regular job as a normal B.Tech holder gets. There is also a loophole as it takes more than 6 years to get a B.Tech degree.

The best choice for Civil Engineering Diploma holders is to pursue B.Tech lateral entry in Civil Engineering. It will help you to enhance your knowledge. This degree is very much valid for jobs.

You hold a diploma degree of three years in Civil Engineering. So taking admission in Delhi Technological University for lateral entry in B.tech Civil Engineering is a worthy decision. You will definitely get good jobs and it will help you to enrich your knowledge. You will be strong in this field. Go ahead and work hard. I wish you all the very best. You may get the chance to take admission in DTU.
