CT Group of Institutions FAQs
Ques. CT Group has two campuses - Shahpur and Maqsudan. How do I know which campus has my preferred program?
Ans. The Shahpur (South) Campus houses CTIEMT (Engineering), CTIL (Law), CTIHM (Hotel Management), CTIPS/CTCP (Pharmacy), the Polytechnic Wing, and the Fashion Design and Hospitality departments. The Maqsudan (North) Campus is home to different engineering, management, and IT institutes. Before applying, confirm your specific program's location by checking the individual institute page on ctgroup.in, since not every program is offered at both campuses.
Ques. Does CT Group conduct its own entrance test, or is admission entirely through JEE Main or IKGPTU?
Ans. CT Group does not conduct a separate university-level CET equivalent to BVP CET. For B.Tech seats, the primary route is JEE Main merit and IKGPTU centralized counselling for government quota seats. Management quota B.Tech seats are filled on the basis of Class 12 PCM merit. Certain management and IT programs may have their own group-level screening or interview, but there is no standalone group entrance exam for engineering. Pharmacy, Hotel Management (B.Sc. HHA), and Law programs follow their respective statutory exam norms (GPAT, NCHMCT JEE, GNDU merit).
Ques. Is the NAAC 'A' Grade accreditation applicable to the entire CT Group or only to a specific institute?
Ans. The NAAC 'A' Grade was awarded specifically to CT Institute of Engineering, Management and Technology (CTIEMT), which is housed at the Shahpur Campus. The accreditation applies to CTIEMT as an individual constituent institute. Other CT Group institutes - such as CTIL (Law), CTIHM (Hotel Management), and CTIPS/CTCP (Pharmacy) - operate under their respective statutory approvals (BCI, NCHMCT, PCI) and are not separately NAAC-accredited under the same certificate as CTIEMT.
Ques. What happens to B.Tech lateral entry (LEET) students in terms of credit transfer and year placement?
Ans. LEET candidates - diploma holders in the relevant engineering branch or B.Sc. (Non-Medical) graduates - are admitted directly to the second year of the four-year B.Tech program at CT Group, reducing the total duration to three years. The minimum eligibility is 45% aggregate in the qualifying diploma (40% for reserved categories), as per IKGPTU norms. Admission follows the LEET counselling schedule conducted by IKGPTU, not a direct management quota process. Students admitted through LEET follow the same curriculum from second year onward as regular B.Tech students.
Ques. For hotel management, what is the difference between B.Sc. HHA at CTIHM and BHMCT or BTTM at CTIHPS?
Ans. B.Sc. in Hospitality and Hotel Administration (HHA) is a 3-year program offered at CT Institute of Hotel Management (CTIHM) and is affiliated to the National Council for Hotel Management and Catering Technology (NCHMCT) under Jawaharlal Nehru University. Admission is through NCHMCT JEE. BHMCT (Bachelor of Hotel Management and Catering Technology) is a 4-year program affiliated to I.K.G. Punjab Technical University offered at CT Institute of Hospitality Management (CTIHPS/Shahpur). BTTM (Bachelor of Tourism and Travel Management) is similarly a 4-year program at CTIHPS. The core distinction is affiliation, duration, and admission route - HHA through NCHMCT JEE versus BHMCT/BTTM through PTU merit/direct admission.
Ques. Do Polytechnic Diploma students at CT Group's Polytechnic Wing have a lateral entry route into degree programs?
Ans. Yes, diploma holders from CT Group's Polytechnic Wing (or any PSBTE&IT-recognized institution) who complete a 3-year Diploma in Engineering (CSE, ME, CE, EE, ECE) are eligible to apply for LEET (Lateral Entry into B.Tech) at CTIEMT, joining directly in the second year of the B.Tech degree program. This pathway eliminates the need to restart a full 4-year degree. The minimum marks requirement for LEET from a polytechnic diploma is 45% aggregate (40% for reserved categories), as per IKGPTU lateral entry norms. This makes the polytechnic diploma a recognized step toward a full engineering degree within the CT Group ecosystem.
