No, there is no lateral entry (direct 2nd-year admission) in B.Tech Computer Science or in any other core branches in NIT Patna. Admission to all regular B.Tech courses in NIT Patna is strictly through JEE Main exam, followed by JoSAA counselling, and begins from the first year only.
But yes, with one exception. Lateral entry admission in B.Tech Information Technology (IT) is available in NIT Patna for diploma holders. It is a direct second-year entry course.
– Course: B.Tech in Information Technology (Lateral Entry)
– Eligibility: Diploma in the relevant subject with minimum 65% marks
– Admission Process: Apply through the official website of NIT Patna (online or offline)
– Availability: For academic year 2025, the program is available
Note: Lateral entry facility is only provided for the IT branch and not Computer Science, ECE, and other core courses.
As NIT Patna doesn't provide lateral entry in CSE, you can opt for State government engineering colleges (through exams like JELET, UPSEE LE, etc.) Or Private universities providing lateral entry in B.Tech CS

Hostel and mess charges are generally charged separately every semester.
NIT Jamshedpur is much better than NIT Patna. NIT Patna lacks the necessary facilities. Moreover, its campus is very small in size. My brother completed his B.Tech Mechanical from NIT Patna, and this information was given to me by him.
NIT Jamshedpur has a better campus, and its placements are also comparatively better. But if you are an IES, GATE, etc. aspirant, NIT Patna is slightly better for you. It is located in the main city because of which, it has easy access to good coaching centers like Madeeasy and Ace.
PES University is better for CSE in comparison to NIT Patna. PES has established a brand name over the years.
It offers better placement opportunities in comparison to NIT Patna. The college infrastructure, environment and other facilities are good. The administration is strict in certain manners, and the students are expected to fulfill the attendance criteria.
Though it is not very affordable, and the hostels aren’t top notch. But it offers good industry exposure, and the student crowd and faculty of this college is also good enough.
I would recommend PES for your CSE. However, I would also suggest you talk to some of the department seniors at both these colleges for better decision making.
No doubt, NIT Patna is advancing drastically every year in its infrastructure. Let us have a closer look
The advancement is evident from the placement statistics in recent years, which are much higher than the previous year
