I want b. tech Lateral entry from diploma to degree in civil engineering
State takes admission through LEET counselling for B.tech degree lateral entry and all states have different process for lateral entry admission.
NITs don't take lateral entry admission, To appear in JEE (Advanced) a diploma holder can apply in JEE (Main) 2017 but his/her rank and score for JEE (Main) will not be declared as diploma holders cannot apply for admission in NITs and CFTIs through JEE (Main) channel.
Good Luck.
