Hello aspirant,

I hope that you are doing absolutely great.

With reference to your above mentioned query, I would like to tell you that yes, you can definitely do and can take lateral entry in computer science and engineering after completing diploma in mechanical Engineering. B. Tech lateral entry is a course where a diploma student or a student who has done B.Sc can get admission directly in the second year or the third semester of the engineering course.

The process of admission differs from college to college. When it comes to lateral entry, some colleges conduct an entrance test before giving admissions. Whereas some colleges give direct admissions to the students.

Further, if you wish to know some of the top engineering colleges for doing computer science and engineering in lateral entry then you can follow the link below :

I hope that this will help.

Hey Aniket!

Yes you can get admission in Computer Science and Engineering after completing Diploma in Mechanical Engineering no matter what branch you studied during diploma. There are many institutions in India that offers Lateral Entry provision to Diploma holders. But NITs and IITs not provide this system, you have to appear for JEE Mains and Advance for getting admission in those colleges.

All The Best!

Hello,
As you have completed the Diploma from Mechanical Engineering you are eligible to pursue Bachelor in Computer Science or B.E in Computer Science.

Many institutions in India offers Lateral Entry provision to Diploma holders. But IITs and NITs do not offer any lateral entry provision.
Institute of Science and Technology in Midnapur, LPU and Chandigarh College of Science and Technology also offers lateral entry.
Many institutions also provides relaxation category wise.

You have to choose a premier institute and your scoring should be impressive so as to attract the prospective employers for better scope in CS, when you apply for the job.
You can opt for some certificate course also after graduating in CS. Your career path will be wider.
Thanks
