Hi,

Diploma holders are eligible to get direct admission in second year of B.Tech or B.E. The exam through you can avail this facility is konwn as LEET EXam

LEET - Lateral Entry Entrance Exam

LEET exam is conducted for Diploma holders who want to get admission in B.E or B.tech courses. This is national level exam. But you can also apply for state level exams in you belong.

In some state there is no exam admission is given on the basis of percentage in diploma. for e.g Maharashtra admission in direct 2nd year is done on the basis of diploma marks.through this exam yiu can get state government engg collage or other institutes.

Hope it helps.

Hi,

You are not eligible to take admission in NIT but you are eligible for IIT. Diploma holders are eligible to get direct admission in second year of B.Tech or B.E. through LEET exam. LEET exam is conducted for Diploma holders who want to get admission in B.E or B.tech courses. This is national level exam. But you can also apply for state level exam.

An aspirant can be a 12th pass or a diploma holder, he/she has to give JEE Main and then JEE Advanced (if qualified) to secure a seat in IIT. There is no shortcut or easy way to get into IIT or NIT. ... If you belong to the top 2,50,000 rank holders, then you are qualified to take the JEE Advanced exam


Hope this helps.

Good Luck.
