Dear Preeti,
Compared to normal B.tech course lateral entry students in engineering has more knowledge than the former as they have more practical knowledge. But a disadvantage is they face a bit problem while getting a good college because there are very few exams for them. But once you get into the college there is no looking back. Their are many reasons why a company will be having reasons to hire you over a normal B.tech student. The main reason is that you an extra degree and more practical knowledge. Hope this serves you of some help. Best wishes!
Hello Preeti Sharma,
As you are lateral entry student in BTech you wouldn't face any problem. Lateral entry system is only to fill the vacant seats in admission.
In placement at the last year they focus on your stuff and communication skill.so don't worry about and don't feel sad about lateral entry.
Enjoy your college and subjects prepare for placement in particular sections like English fluency and communication skills.
Hope this helps you.
All the best Preeti!
