Hi,

Joint Entreance exam for lateral entry (JELET), is an entrance exam conducted by the West Bengal Joint Entrance Examinations Board for admission into second year directly of the bachelor's degree. Theexam is conducted offline.

To be eligible for JELET, there is no  age limit for diploma holders in engineering and pharmacy. Minimum of 45% marks (or equivalent CGPA) is must.

With this exam, one who haven't done class 12th and chosen diploma  have a chance to do engineering from second year.

There are many state level colleges and universities accepting the score in West Bengal. But currently, IITs and NITs do not allow diploma candidates to get a seat for engineering.

For general category, to get CS/IT branch one needs get rank under 200 for government colleges and universities. For mechanical engineering, you have a little bit chance.

All the best.
