About the Program:

• It is often called a 5-Year Integrated Diploma + B.Tech or Diploma to Degree (D2D) program.

• The first 3 years focus on the Diploma (Polytechnic) curriculum.

• The last 2 years are for the B.Tech degree .

• You do not need to pass 12th to join this program.

• Admission is generally based on 10th board marks or a state-level polytechnic entrance exam .
  
  Eligibility:

• Must have passed Class 10 (SSC) with required percentage (varies by state/college).

• Lovely Professional University (LPU) – offers Diploma + B.Tech path after 10th.

• Government and State Polytechnics – many state-level technical boards (like AP, Telangana, Maharashtra, Tamil Nadu, etc.) offer lateral entry to B.Tech after 3-year Diploma.

• Kalinga Institute of Industrial Technology (KIIT) – has integrated programs.
