Admission route · All-India
Lateral entry from a diploma into a degree
Usually called Lateral entry
A three-year diploma can lead directly into the second year of a B.Tech, through state lateral-entry admissions. The same degree, entered by a different door.
What kind of thing this is
A way into a course that does not run through the entrance exam everyone talks about — a diploma, a lateral entry, a state quota. Open across India.
Who can apply
Requires a completed diploma. Each state runs its own lateral-entry admission; the rules and reserved seats differ.
