Polytechnic

Hello Alma, Majority of the top colleges including the government colleges allow for lateral entry in their 4 year engineering degree courses directly into the second year. Perhaps the noted exceptions are IIT's and NIT's. They do not have facility for lateral entry. These days in spite of best efforts by the top private colleges or Deemed to be university's, they find it tough to fill up their classes to the capacity in the first year. This forces them to accept students at least in the second year of 4 year course so that they get the fees for remaining three years to run their institutions. Best wishes for your dream of securing admission via lateral entry.

Hello Suraj Kumar,
There is no mention of any domicile requirement for appearing in this exam. But then all examination centers are in Karnataka. It's also a fact that thousands of seats in private engineering colleges are remaining vacant & this is one way of filling these & hence condition of domicile may not be existing. I am attaching a link that will give you all the required information about this exam. https://www-shiksha-com.cdn.ampproject.org/v/s/www.shiksha.com/b-tech/amp/dcet-exam?amp_js_v=a2&_gsa=1&usqp=mq331AQCCAE=#referrer=https://www.google.com&_tf=From %1$s&share=https://www.shiksha.com/b-tech/dcet-exam
