Lateral entry

No, there is no lateral entry in any legal COA approved architecture college. First, you have to take JEE/NATA and then you need to get yourself registered in the 1st year in order to receive the COA registration after completing the 5-year programme.

If you join MCA through lateral entry then you only need write the 2nd year exam, not the first year exam.

Hi Amar,
Yes, lateral entry is available in PSG for every branch of engineering, the criteria being you should have completed diploma with very good marks. A separate counselling is done for filling up the seats.
Good luck.

Hi Aravind,
Yes, there is B.Tech lateral entry for mechanical engineering students too. Here, you get direct admission to 2nd year of B.Tech if you are a Diploma holder in engineering.

You have asked this question for Army Institute of technology, so no, AIT does not entertain applicaton of diploma holders.

Hello Shubham,
Lateral admission is possible in every state. DTE of your state will have on their website complete details of the admission process, fee, etc., and of course, seats offered in different colleges. Admission is invariably on the basis of marks obtained in Diploma and is restricted to domiciles of the state.
Best wishes.
