hi,
Yes, you can still get admission to aerospace engineering even if you didn't score 75% in your polytechnic. Most colleges require around 50–60% minimum marks for lateral entry, not necessarily 75%. Eligibility depends on the specific university and entrance criteria. You may need to appear for a lateral entry test or be admitted based on merit.

For lateral entry into aeronautical/aerospace engineering, you must have a Diploma in Engineering (like E&E) with required minimum marks (usually 50–60%). You can apply directly to colleges offering B.Tech lateral entry (2nd year). The process includes filling the application form, appearing for a lateral entry entrance test (state-level or university-level) or merit-based admission, followed by counseling and document verification. Some states like Karnataka use centralized counseling (KEA).
