Diploma

Hello Rajit Kumar,
Yes, it's very nice of you to think of doing engineering via lateral mode after completion of your Diploma in Engineering in IT. After doing the graduation your chances of getting placed increase tremendously. In the state of Uttar Pradesh for entry via lateral mode in engineering colleges, one needs to appear for an exam conducted by the state. Once you clear the exam then based on the merit you will be given admission. If you are Desire is to go for the colleges where the fees are cheap then you need to get admission in a government college and for this you must study well and secure a good merit in this examination since only good made it will get your admission in Government College where fees will be the least. I am attaching a link that will give you all the required information. https://www-shiksha-com.cdn.ampproject.org/v/s/www.shiksha.com/b-tech/course/amp/b-tech-lateral-entry-institute-of-engineering-and-technology-iet-lucknow-194214?amp_js_v=a2&_gsa=1&usqp=mq331AQHCAFYAYABAQ=#referrer=https://www.google.com&_tf=From %1$s&share=https://www.shiksha.com/b-tech/course/b-tech-lateral-entry-institute-of-engineering-and-technology-iet-Lucknow-194214

Hello Mallikarjuna,
I appreciate you for your desire to go for graduation in engineering in spite of doing your Diploma almost 15 years ago. But I am afraid the present situation in India or Indian Institutions is not favourable for students like you. There is an age bar beyond which you cannot even apply for many courses in India. However all is not lost. There are still enough ways by which you can learn and obtain the degree or its equivalent. What's the best possible way for you will be to go for associate membership of Institution of Engineers which is equivalent to the engineering degree or else you can think of obtaining the degree via distance education from University which has been approved by the UGC. Best wishes to you.
