Hi,
I am sorry but B.Arch doesn't have Lateral Entry option like B.Tech. Students can either apply directly to any college for B.Arch or attempt the entrance exam for B.Arch like JEE, NATA, etc. Students have to start from first year if they want to pursue Bachelor of Architecture, as there is no direct entry in second year of B.Arch. Also, you can visit the given website of Careers360 to know more about the admission process in B.Arch. All the best!
