Hello Sanjay,
In India, getting admission in engineering colleges, particularly in government colleges or private colleges aided by the government is restricted to the students of that state only. It is next to impossible to get admission in such colleges for students who are not domicile of that state. You have said that you belong to Telangana and desirous of getting admission in a college in Bangalore.
Well, it is possible because Bangalore has many private unaided colleges or deemed university status colleges. But here you will have approach them individually for getting lateral admission. You will not get admission in any government or government aided college in Karnataka all Bangalore. For this you have to apply only to the colleges in Telangana.

Normally in any state the admissions are based on either the marks obtained in Diploma or an entrance exam conducted by the state.

Hence if you are interested in Government Engineering College then you must work hard now so that you get very good marks in Diploma and then can get admission in Government College.

It contains list of all the colleges offering lateral admission along with the number of seats available and also with all relevant information about the admission.
