Hello, Unfortunately, no. After completing your 2nd PUC (or Class 12) in the Arts stream, you are generally not eligible to pursue a Polytechnic Diploma in a technical field like Mechanical Engineering.

• Engineering diplomas, including Mechanical Engineering, are highly technical and have a strong foundation in Mathematics, Physics, and Chemistry. These subjects are considered mandatory prerequisites.
• Admission into the second year (lateral entry) after Class 12 is only open to students from the Science Stream (with Physics, Chemistry, and Maths) or those with a relevant ITI certificate.
• Since you studied in the Arts stream, you do not meet this fundamental subject requirement for a technical engineering diploma.

I hope you found this information helpful.
