Engineering Admission Process

Hello Ravi,
Normally admissions are given based on your performance. If you have merit then you can choose the college of your choice. If you are low on merit then you have to select from a limited choice.

You can get admission in BITS – Pilani and IIT – Bombay.

Any student who has done a Diploma in engineering from a recognised Polytechnic is eligible to seek lateral entry admission in B.Tech in colleges such as DTU which offer lateral entry admission.

A lateral entry admission is one where a student directly enters in the second year of his engineering, MCA or MBA, etc degrees. Each degree has its own admission criterion. For example for B.Tech, lateral entry candidate must have completed a Diploma in their respective branch or B.Sc in PCM to be eligible for the lateral entry programme. Candidates after completing their Diploma, have to appear for LEET (a special examination for enrollment in the engineering colleges offering lateral entry for B.Tech). Few states conduct their own LEET examination.

Hello Ravi,
Almost all the engineering colleges offer this facility. But normally, it's limited to the domicile of that particular state. There is a department of technical education in each state which controls the process. It is advised to get the details from your state's department.

Hello Sagar,
Lateral entries are allowed in similar subjects. However, you are advised to visit DTE website for registering yourself as candidate for admission to 2nd year.

Hi Satyam,
Yes, after completing Diploma in engineering, you can get admission in B.Tech 2nd year through LEET exam. You will have to appear for LEET entrance exam conducted by each state.

There is no lateral entry in MBA. The MBA is of 4 types:
1. Part time.
2. Full time.
3. Online.
4. Distance/ executive MBA.
Fulltime MBA is highly preferred.

Dear Nikkhil,
There are many colleges with good placement who provides lateral entry. Some mentioned below are, University College of Engineering-Ariyalur, Government College of Engineering-Coimbatore, PSNA Institute of Technology and Coimbatore Institute of Technology.
