Lateral entries are permitted only in colleges which have a tie-up with other institutes. Students with a good academic record are more likely to have their transfer approved by the admission department of their college. So, the first thing you must do is check with the admissions department of your college whether the lateral transfer is permitted in the 2nd year of your course of study. If you have a good CGPA in your 1st and 2nd year, the transfer may be granted on basis of your marks. Another criterion you must check for is whether there is a seat available in the target institute. Block a seat in the institute before you give up your seat in the current college. Good luck!
