Hello,

In general, COEP (College of Engineering Pune) has specific eligibility criteria for lateral entry students. Traditionally, many institutions in Maharashtra have reserved lateral entry opportunities primarily for students from within the state due to state domicile requirements. However, policies can vary and sometimes institutions might offer lateral entry options for students from other states as well.

For the most accurate and current information, you should directly check COEP’s official website or contact their admissions office. They can provide details about eligibility criteria for out-of-state diploma holders like yourself.

Hope it helps !
