Lateral entry in Second Year (Direct Admission)

Diploma holders can take admission in the second year as per government norms. After receiving applications, the government admission coordination committee will fill these seats through centralized counseling. In addition to the total intake, 20% of seats are available in each discipline. The pre-requisite is a minimum of 45% aggregate marks in the respective branch from any recognized institute.

The candidates should satisfy at least one of the following two criteria for admission to IITs:

(1) Must have secured at least 75% aggregate marks in the Class XII (or equivalent) Board examination. The aggregate marks for SC, ST, and PwD candidates should be at least 65%. Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics are required as compulsory subjects in Class XII (or equivalent) Board examination.

(2) Must be within the category-wise top 20 percentile of successful candidates in their respective Class XII (or equivalent) board examination.

The percentile calculation will be done for the required subjects in a single academic year only. Therefore, candidates appearing for improvement in Board examinations can EITHER appear in one or more subjects and secure 75% aggregate marks (65% for SC, ST, and PwD) after improvement, OR, appear for improvement in ALL subjects to be in top 20 percentile of the corresponding academic year.

• The marks scored in the following five subjects will be considered for calculating the aggregate marks and the cut-off marks for fulfilling the top 20 percentile criterion.

i. Physics

ii. Chemistry

iii. Mathematics

iv. A language (if the candidate has taken more than one language, then the language with the higher marks will be considered)

v. Any subject other than the above four (the subject with the highest marks will be considered).
