Hello aspirant,

For B.E./B.Tech programs, diploma holders are qualified to take the JEE Main exam. This implies that they can take the exam and apply to different engineering colleges based on their results.
Diploma holders, however, cannot use JEE Main to get admission to undergraduate programs at the IITs and NITs. Candidates for these institutes typically need to have finished their 12th grade or its equivalent.

Thank you

Hope it helps you

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.

To know more about this, you can go through the given link which will provide detailed information regarding your query. Also, If you are a diploma holder aiming for NITs, IIITs, or other colleges, alternative options like lateral entry schemes through state-level exams might be more suitable.

Best wishes!

Hi,

Yes, diploma holders can apply for the JEE Main exam.Keep in mind that while you can appear for JEE Main, your position in JEE Main will not be useful for getting into Centrally Funded Technical Institutions (CFTIs) and National Institutes of Technology (NITs). You would need to use the Direct Admission for Diploma Holders (DADH) channel for admission to the IITs. However, there are some specific criteria you need to meet:

  1. Eligibility : You must have completed a 3-year diploma program approved by AICTE (All India Council for Technical Education).

  2. Subjects : Ensure that you have studied Physics and Mathematics in your diploma program.

  3. Age Limit : The age limit for diploma holders is 25 years as of October 1st of the year of the exam.

  4. JEE Advanced : Diploma holders are eligible to appear for the JEE Advanced exam, but they need to be in the top 2,50,000 ranks in JEE Main to qualify.
