Lateral entry into a master’s degree after a PG Diploma is possible, allowing you to start directly in the second year (3rd semester) of programs such as MBA, M.Com, M.A, M.Sc, or MCA by receiving credit for your PG diploma, often reducing the master’s duration to one year; eligibility is heavily dependent on the university and specific PG Diploma (such as PGDBM for MBA). Students having a postgraduate diploma from a UGC-recognized university are eligible for lateral admission. Students pursuing a master’s Degree through lateral entry will be charged fees for one year as per the curriculum.
