Dhirubhai Ambani Institute of Information and Communication Technology (DA-IICT), Gandhinagar
Nirma University, Ahmedabad
PSG College of Technology, Coimbatore
It is important to check the specific eligibility criteria and admission process for lateral entry programs at each of these colleges, as they may vary. You can find this information on the colleges' official websites.

Here is a list of colleges in Hyderabad that accept lateral entry for various engineering programs:

Nalla Malla Reddy Engineering College (NMREC)
This list is not exhaustive and other colleges in Hyderabad may also accept a lateral entry. It's best to check with each college you're interested in to confirm their admission policies and procedures for lateral entry. Please note that admission criteria and processes can vary by college and programme, and it's important to carefully review the admission requirements of each institution before applying.

The eligibility criteria for transferring from Computer Science and Engineering to another programme, such as Mechanical Engineering, after the first year can vary depending on the policies of the university or institution you are attending. It's best to check with the administration of Saboo Siddik College of Engineering to determine their specific admission requirements and procedures for transferring from Computer Science and Engineering to another programme after the first year. They may have specific guidelines for students who are seeking to transfer programs and can advise you on the best course of action. When considering a transfer, it's important to think about why you want to switch programs, and whether the new programme aligns with your interests, skills, and career goals. You may also want to speak with an academic advisory or career counselor to help you make an informed decision about transferring programs.

The Bachelor of Computer Science (abbreviated BCompSc or BCS) is a Bachelor's degree awarded by some universities for completion of an undergraduate programme in computer Science. In general, computer Science degree programs emphasize the mathematical and theoretical foundations of computing. The duration for pursuing a B.Sc. Course is 3 years, but when an applicant opts for lateral entry admission, they are provided with the opportunity or getting into the 2nd year of this course directly, and the course duration decreases for 2 years only. Candidates should have qualified a Diploma in the same stream as that of the B.Sc. From a recognised institution. They should have scored at least 60% marks in their Diploma course.
