NIT

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

Following are the top NITs for mechanical engineering in order of precedence: Tiruchirappalli, Surathkal and Warangal. You may refer to All India ranking of mechanical engineering colleges at: https://www.shiksha.com/b-tech/ranking/top-mechanical-engineering-colleges-in-india/48-2-0-0-0

You are advised to appear in JEE Mains exam to seek admission in NITs for graduation courses. You can seek admission in post graduation degrees by appearing in GATE examination.

You are eligible to seek admission in MCA at NITs.

Hi Murali Krishna,

The counselling and the applications for counselling will be started only after the JEE Advanced exams only.

Hello Neha,
As your rank is low, you must try in any other private college or you must try in REAP to get admission in a government college of Rajasthan whose counseling begins from 15th of June.
All The Best
