Hello Yashraj,
Yes, you are eligible for lateral admission in this college based on your rank but it's a centralized process in Maharashtra and today only advertisement has appeared in newspaper that online registration will be beginning before end of July. Getting actual admission of course depends on how those placed above you give their choice. Best wishes!

College name matters a lot and so does the market value of the college.
Doing B.Tech from IIT and B.Tech from some ABC college are different, so is the case of B.Sc in nursing.

I would say a degree is much better. You'll have enough time to have hands-on experience and then placement.

The backlogs in your graduation doesn't matter while taking admission. What matters is the percentage of graduation and entrance test marks.

You have options to pursue courses like M.A. M.A. Or can go for professional courses like hotel management, travel and tourism, and mass communication.

As you are a surveyor in a construction company and also a B.Sc. Graduate, civil engineering will be perfect for you. or else, you can choose survey engineering or architecture engineering. But civil may the best choice as it has a broad scope. B.Sc. will help u to get direct admission in the 2nd year of B.Tech. So Diploma is surely a bad choice for you as under AICTE Diploma courses are 3 years and if you join B.Tech 2nd year, then you also spend 3 years. But you have to talk with the college and office also for not leaving the job and also continue your education.
All the best. Age is just a number.
Salutes to your spirit.
