Hi Achintya,

Yes, a diploma holder is eligible to appear for the JEE Main and JEE Advanced exams. However, there are some important points to consider:

For JEE Mains :

• Diploma Holders Can Appear :
  Diploma holders can register and appear for JEE Main, but they are not eligible for admission to NITs , IIITs , or other CFTIs through JEE Main.

• Purpose of JEE Main for Diploma Holders :
  The score in JEE Main can be used only as a qualification step to appear for JEE Advanced , which is necessary for admission to IITs.

For JEE Advanced :

• Eligible for JEE Advanced :
  Diploma holders can appear for JEE Advanced, provided they qualify for the required rank in JEE Main.

• Direct Admission to IITs (Through JEE Advanced) :
  Diploma holders are eligible to seek admission to IITs in the first year of the BTech program based on their JEE Advanced rank.

Some points to keep in mind are -

• No Lateral Entry : Diploma holders must begin from the first year of the B.Tech program, as no lateral entry is allowed through JEE.
• Eligibility Criteria : Ensure you meet the age limit and year of passing requirements as specified in the JEE Main/Advanced guidelines for the specific exam year.
