Hi Hriday! Generally, you can enter college directly into the second year of a B.Tech in Automobile Engineering through lateral entry after completing your Diploma in Mechanical Engineering. This is possible in most universities but with changing eligibility criteria in different institutions, so better to check with individual institutions.

Subjects will range from Automotive Engineering, Vehicle Dynamics, Internal Combustion Engines, Automotive Electronics, to all general engineering subjects.

The fees structure too varies with institutions. An approximate range for B.Tech in India would be 50,000 to 2,00,000 per year, depending on if you choose a government or private college. Some even charge extra for lab materials and workshops.

Do check the website of specific colleges for their detailed admission process and fee structure to be sure!
