Engineering Admission Process

NITs currently do not have provision for lateral entry admission in B.Tech for Diploma holders. You can seek admission by appearing for JEE in first year of engineering as you have done class 12th.

Hi,
Mentioned below are some of the good government colleges offering B.Tech through lateral entry:
1. Guru Gobind Singh Indraprastha University
2. Ansal Institute of Technology
3. B.M. College of Technology & Management (BMCTM)
4. Indian Institute of Technology Delhi (IIT-D)
5. Delhi Technical University ( Formerly DCE-Delhi College of Engineering)
6. Netaji Subhas Institute of Technology (NSIT)
7. Guru Nanak Group of Institutes (Hermes Institute)
8. New Green Field College of Engineering and Technology (NGF)
9. Jamia Hamdard (Deemed University)
10. Delhi Institute of Technology and Management (DITM)

HIMT is the best for marine engineering.

Hi Swoyam,
Hard to pinpoint a particular country. Requirements differ with universities and depend largely on a candidate's profile. All the universities and colleges have lateral entry option for which you must meet necessary requirements as per the university's policy. You must check universities websites, and email them your academic profile. If they find your qualification fit for a lateral entry, you will be considered for the same. Please be proactive and do research, visit university websites rigorously. US, Canada, UK, Australia and New Zealand could be good options.

Yes Joseph,
It is possible like any other engineering branch. You can opt for various lateral entry exams mentioned below:
CENTAC LE 2017 Jharkhand DtoDECE 2017 Haryana LEET 2017 HP LEET 2017 Assam JLEE 2017 Jaypee B.Tech Lateral Entry Admission 2017 Rajasthan LEEP 2017 Lateral Entry in Engineering & PharmacyThapar University LEET 2017
Or, you can take admission based on your percentage in Diploma.

Distance learning is not a good idea. You should take admission in a college through lateral entry and continue your higher education.
