Lateral entry

Hello Rajyavardhan, it's very nice to hear from you that after completion of your Diploma in engineering you are interested in pursuing graduation in engineering. Normally speaking the state governments have put restrictions of domicile on admission via lateral process directly into second year of engineering into engineering colleges with their states. Hence you may be eligible for admission only within your state or then into any deemed to be university. In any case the government colleges are very few and the private colleges are in plenty who will be willing to give you admission. In the Shiksha app itself if you raise a query as to the colleges offering mechanical engineering stating your state you will get the answer. Best wishes to you.

Hello Ram Chauhan, if I may say so you are a bit confused perhaps. We normally use the word lateral admission when a student who has completed his Diploma in engineering is seeking admission directly into second year of four year degree course of engineering. But you are already doing your engineering from college and interested in changing you are college. Right? Frankly speaking it's very tough to do this. Theoretically it is possible to do this when the college in which you want to go belongs to the same university and the same branch you want to take admission. However if you had taken admission in a private engineering college then they will be very loath to let you go since they will be losing a paying student and they will not know whether a new student will come in your place or not and they will end up losing that much of revenue. Hence if the conditions are not very bad I would recommend you to continue in the same college. If you are only in the first year then you must attempt the entrance exam once again hoping to get better marks and a better college in the admission process in the New year. Best wishes to you.
