dear
first you can go in the college or university site or personaly then fill up the forms.
dear you can do the same in the any entrance exam because you are eligibilie for the engineering in the 2nd yrs.
after that you have to try in the entance exam... after that university call you couselling. In there you can choose your college .
after that you can study in that college..

for more information visit the universiy website or read the prospectuse.

best of luck...

Yes, this is possible. Here a student does not need to study 11th and 12th classes.
Instead of them, the student goes for diploma in the required course.
This is undertaken right after one's 10th class.

Diploma options are the most sought after one's for the engineering courses.
Wherein, students after their 10th, go for diploma in their engineering stream of choice, and after completing the diploma they can directly join the 2nd year of B.E.

Here, the student needs not worry for the studies of the 1st year, which the student might think he/she has missed.
This is because that portion is well covered in one's diploma, wherein instead of the general subjects (same as the subjects till 10th) that are studies in +2, the B.E basics are taught.
Hence, there is no room for complications further.

All the best!!!

You can get admission directly in Second year after completing Diploma if there is seat vacant in the engineering branches. But it happen in most of the cases that there are lot of seat is going vacant in every branch so if you are doing diploma then you have very good chance to do the engineering.
In the engineering first you will find the vacant seat on any organisation website and then apply the application form and then they will decide the selection procedure.

After completing diploma you have to appear entrance exam(ie.AIEE/OJEE) or any state entrance exam,in lateral entry you can get admitted to any college in 2nd year.

my dear friend if you have completed diploma ,you can attend entrance exam(lateral entry),if you qualify the entrance exam you can get cadmitted in 2nd year directly.

QUALIFICATION FOR LATERAL ENTRY:

1.THE CANDIATE MUST HAVE COMPLETED 10TH FROM AN RECOGNISED SCHOOL.

2.THE CANDIDATE MUST HAVE COMPLETED DIPLOMA WITH OUT BACKLOG.

many state boards conduct a special type of exams for entering into an engineering college and this is done especially for those diploma students who want to take direct admission in second year of engineering and the name of the special exam is LATERAL ENTRY..............these type of exam is conducted by different states such as orissa and west bengal,etc!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

if you have completed diploma,attend entrance exam as lateral entry and admit to 2nd year directly

[COLOR="rgb(255, 0, 255)"]Hello friend,[/COLOR]

>>Yes you can take direct admission into second year of engineering through Lateral entry and you need to clear that exams like ECET for admission.
>>You can become a engineer by joining the degree in a engineering college,There are scope for the students who have completed their diploma from some colleges and after that they wants to go for engineering ,you can apply to colleges which offers lateral entries in to thier college degree ,through lateral entry you directly enter in to 2nd year of engineering and you will be able to complete your engineering in 3 years ,there is advantage for you as you have already diploma so you will understand the subjects better .

>>You can go go for lateral entry , you will be directly admitted into second year of engineering. but for this you have to appear in lateral entry entrance examination which is a state level base examination. if you are able to secure good position in this examination then you will be able to take admission in engineering college of your own state. it will save your one year. i think it is better for you. but IITs have no lateral entry scheme. so you can not take admission in IIT through lateral entry.

>>If you go for regular entry then you have to appear in engineering entrance examination just like after 12 pass. if you can secure good position then you will be admitted in 1st year of engineering through counseling. but the competition is very high here and also it will take one more year to complete your engineering. but through this you may take admission in IIT if you appear in IIT JEE or you may take admission in other engineering college throughout the India if you appear in AIEEE or you may take admission in your own state if you appear in state level base engineering entrance examination.
So go for lateral entry exam and get direct admission into engineering second year.
[COLOR="rgb(255, 0, 255)"]Best of luck![/COLOR]

The lateral entry exam is nothing but the E-CET , you must acquire a good score in E-CET so that you will get a seat in good college .
