Lateral entry

After pursuing Diploma, you will have more practical knowledge and experience as compared to B.Tech students but since lateral entry seats are very few so you may face difficulty in getting admission in good colleges. Also with Diploma, you can get jobs in various PSUs. So, pursuing Diploma is also good but if you can go for class 12th and then B.Tech that will also be same.

No, DTU doesn't have lateral entry seats. You should try JECRC University, Vivekananda Global University-Jaipur or Manipal-Jaipur.

IITs and NITs do not have provision for lateral entry admission in 2nd year of B.Tech for Diploma holders in engineering from polytechnic.

Your grades are good but for a transfer option, you have to co-ordinate with the universities. You must meet credit point rules and transfer rules of the university you want to apply to. Please co-ordinate with the universities.

IIT Madras, IIT Roorki provides metallurgical engineering but they do not provide lateral entry.
