Hi friend,

I am really sorry to say that IITs and NITs don't allow Diploma holders for their Engineering programs.But you are eligible for Engineering admissions in other reputed Colleges.The o eligibility conditions required are:

• You must have completed your Diploma course with minimum 60% marks in Engineering from a recognized State Board of Technical Education.
• You must not have any backlog left in Diploma course.
• Your age must not be more than 28 years.

Most prestigious Engineering Colleges offering Lateral entry admissions on the basis of Entrance Test are:


Punjab University,Chandigarh.

Thapar Institute of Engineering and Technology,Patiala.

Guru Gobind Singh IP University,Delhi.

Sant Longoval Institute of Engineering and Technology,Sangrur.

Harcourt Butler Technological Institute,Kanpur.


On the basis of your rank in the Entrance test,you will be allotted a particular branch.You must try to score a good rank it is very much required in case you want to get admission in good Engineering College.
