Hi

No, you cannot get direct admission in 2nd year of engineering.

This is because,

12th passed are not eligible for lateral entry, only 3 year diploma in engineering student are eligible for lateral entry i. e. direct admission in 2nd year of engineering, even for them not all college allows lateral entry, only a few do so.

So, you will have to take admission in 1st year itself.

To help you further,

Here's the complete details about Engineering i. e BE/BTech

---------------------)  BTech/BE

BTech ( Bachelor of Technology ) or BE ( Bachelor of Engineering) is a 4 year degree course divided into 8 semesters. You have different branches in BE /Btech like computer science, IT, ECE, Mechanical, electrical etc. You can get list of top branches at:-

---------------------) ELIGIBILITY CRITERIA

• Qualifications required :-  To be eligible you need to pass 12th with Physics and   Mathematics as compulsory subjects along with any one of Chemistry /Biotechnology/Biology/Technical Vocational subject.

• Minimum percentage required in 12th:- In general you need at least 45 % for general category and 40 % for sc/st in 12th in physics , maths and   Chemistry /Biotechnology/Biology/Technical Vocational subject taken together  to be eligible.

For example,
