Hello Aspirant,

Yes, you can get admission into the direct second year (also called lateral entry) of a Diploma in Computer Engineering in some states — but only if the technical education board in your state permits lateral entry after HSC (Class 12) with Science subjects.Most states (like Maharashtra, Gujarat, Tamil Nadu, etc.) allow lateral entry into 2nd year diploma if:

HSC (Class 12) in Science stream with Mathematics or Technical/Vocational subjects .Some states require a Centralized Admission Process (CAP) or merit-based counselling.

All the best for your admission in diploma.
