Lateral entry

Hi Rishi,
There is no lateral entry system in MBA abroad. Basically, as of now, you are not eligible because you don't have work experience. All major MBA abroad programs require work experience unlike in India. You may check MS Management programs not requiring work experience but again entering into the 2nd year will depend on whether or not you have met the admission policies and credits of the desired university.

There is no national test for lateral entry. Some of the states & universities are conducting this test. Otherwise, they give admission on the basis of your score.

I do not know about other campuses of SRM but in SRM University, Delhi NCR you can get lateral entry even if you have done Diploma.

Though there is not any notice regarding admission in this year in this and the last date of lateral entry is also gone. So the only option is you have to wait for next year to get admission in this college.

Yes, you are eligible for lateral entry admissions.

Hello Nilesha,
It's good to know your dreams of doing graduation in engineering. Every state has its own equivalence and it's published by concerned DTE of Tech Edu of the state. But I feel that what you are seeking is allowed. But please ensure that you score handsomely in your diploma exam.

Hello Mehbub,
It's really nice to know your dreams / desire to do graduation after completing diploma. You can get admission by lateral entry in your home state which is normally based on marks obtained in Diploma.

Hello Mehebub,
You need to write LEET exam which is conducted in each state for lateral entry.
All the best!
