About LPU Lateral Entry Programs
LPU or Loverly Professional University has been a very famous institute for many years. This institute provides multiple academic options in different courses and subjects and engineering is one of them.
Lovely Professional University is located at Jalandhar-Delhi, G.T. Road, Phagwara, Punjab. It was founded in 2001 by Late Sh. Baldev Raj Mittal the Founder and Chairman of Lovely Group. Its vision is - “To be a premier academic institution, recognized internationally for its contribution to industry and society through excellence in teaching, learning, research, internationalization, entrepreneurship and leadership.”
This University has multiple programs, for both national and international students, and it is the 5th oldest private university in India. Lovely Professional University has the 38th NIRF ranking, NAAC A++ accreditation, UGC approved, UGC-DEB approved, and AICTE approved with many other approvals.
LPU provides courses in not only regular types but many others. This university provides engineering courses in many branches, so it delivers engineering bachelor's degrees in regular mode and in lateral entry. This B.Tech lateral entry course is created for diploma holders, people who pursued a three-year diploma course after the 10th standard can apply for this.
In the B.Tech lateral entry course, students receive the same quality of education as regular B.Tech students, the major difference is that lateral entry students do not enroll in the first year because they already have a diploma, therefore, they are already aware of the basis of the first year. In this course, students have to visit campus every day to attend classes and mark their attendance, they have to pay the fee for the hostel, bus, mess, etc. like other regular students.
There are a number of students who have a diploma but those students are unable to pursue B.Tech lateral entry because of commitments like occupation. Those people have the zeal to pursue this degree but cannot attend classes on campus every day. So, there is another option for them which is not B.Tech online and B.Tech distance education because it is not approved by the All India Council for Technical Education (AICTE), the University Grants Commission (UGC), and the Supreme Court.
Instead, there is B.Tech flexible timing also known as B.Tech for working professionals. It is similar to a lateral entry degree but here the classes are conducted in the evenings after working hours or on weekends, students visit campus only when there are laboratory sessions and examinations. Students Also Ask | B.Tech Distance Education!
The degree awarded in both these cases is of regular B.Tech. In both, there are 3 years and 6 semesters of six months each, the examinations are conducted as mid-term exams in the middle of the semester and end-term exams at the end of the semester. During each semester assignments, quizzes, tests, seminars, and practical labs are conducted.
Online Degree Acceptance
Online degrees earned from a government-approved university, just like a regular degree, are accepted by the top recruiters worldwide including government & private sectors.
Value of Online Degree
An online degree from a government-approved university holds similar recognition in the industry as that of a regular degree. Thus, it is equally valuable when considered for a job or higher education.
Quality of Education
The quality of education offered in online programs is of the same standard as offered in an on-campus program. Be it curriculum, faculty members, evaluation methods, practical sessions, online & on-campus programs follow similar standards of quality.
