• You have to complete a diploma in civil engineering from a recognised university.
• You should score at least 60 % marks in diploma course to appear in LEET entrance exam or to get direct admission in college.
• There is however a possibility to get admission with 50% marks in the diploma as well but there are very few colleges who grant admission with such percentage.

Hi Viren,

Yes you can do architecture course after completing diploma course.The course you should go for is Architecture Engineering. It is related to the design of bridge, multipurpose building, industrial area, residential area etc. Today there is huge demand for candidates who have Architecture background because of several dam, bridges etc projects in India.

Most of the Engineering institutes in India offer lateral entry scheme. They reserve around 15 percent seats every year for this entry scheme. The process of giving admission is different for each university. While some may ask you to appear in Lateral Entry Engineering Test (LEET), others would be happy to give you direct admission based on your performance in the diploma course.

But you should score at least 60 percent marks in diploma course to appear in LEET entrance exam or to get direct admission.

Hope this will help,please feel free to ask if you have any further queries.

Thank you.
