ABES Engineering College is a renowned private engineering college that was founded by the ABES Education Trust in Ghaziabad, Uttar Pradesh, in 2000. It is a member of Dr A.P.J. Abdul Kalam Technical University (AKTU) and has the approval of the All India Council of Technical Education (AICTE). ABES has a few programs that are accredited by the National Board of Accreditation (NBA), so that it follows the national standards in quality. The institution has the mandate of providing undergraduate, postgraduate and doctoral programs in the fields of engineering, technology, computer applications and management.

ABES has been described as one that puts a lot of emphasis on academic excellence with a concomitant exposure to the real world. The college is of the opinion that it creates not only technically competent engineers but also socially responsible and ethically grounded engineers. Following the interests of the diploma graduates, ABES provides a full B.Tech Lateral Entry program, which allows a student with a three-year diploma to enter the second year (third semester) of the B.Tech program. The pathway will give diploma graduates a fast-tracked program to attain a full degree in engineering and increase their career opportunities significantly, augmenting the technical background they already have. The campus, which is expansive, has a world-class infrastructure with specialised laboratories with state-of-the-art technology, digital learning tools in modern smart classrooms, a fully equipped central library with thousands of books and e-resources, research and innovation centres, and extensive sports and recreational facilities. All these facilities are available to the lateral entry students.

The institution values industry-academia cooperation by establishing strategic partnerships with important companies and organisations. Such partnerships enable lateral entry students to take up valuable opportunities in terms of internship, industrial training, live industry projects, technical workshops, and professional acquires that contribute greatly to their employability and career readiness.

ABES provides B.Tech programmes and also B.Tech Lateral Entry programmes at the undergraduate level in Computer Science and Engineering, Information Technology, Electronics and Communication Engineering, Electrical and Electronics Engineering, Mechanical and Civil Engineering. The advantage of lateral entry students is that they have a curriculum that recognises their diploma education, coupled with an introduction to highly technical engineering concepts, research methodologies, and modern industry practices. Its postgraduate courses comprise M.Tech in different fields of specialisation and the MCA course. The curriculum is constantly revised according to the trends in the industry, technological changes, and international educational standards.

Based on the demands of the working professionals and students with diploma holders who work in different industries, ABES has grown its academic presence via UGC-approved online B.Tech Lateral Entry courses. These programs offer equivalent rigorous academic material with the benefit of flexibility based on interactive online modules, virtual live classes, recorded lecture sessions, and virtual laboratory sessions, as per the on-campus programs. Online lateral entry students are given the same degree with equal value and recognition as traditional programs, and this enables them to get the same career opportunities across industries without necessarily ruining their present jobs.

The vision of the ABES Engineering College is to produce technically qualified, creative and socially responsible engineers who are expected to play a positive part in society and the development of the country. ABES offers its lateral entry students (who already have basic technical knowledge grounds) a holistic learning experience centred on the development of technical skills, soft skills, entrepreneurial thinking, and ethical values that help them succeed in dynamic work environments globally and become future leaders in the desired profession.
