Colleges of architecture having lateral entry after diploma in architecture

I am sorry but B.Arch doesnt have lateral entry unlike B.Tech. You have to join the first year and hence it cannot be a lateral entry. The confusion comes from diploma holders who assume that it is just like B.Tech where admissions are allowed in the second year ie 3rd semester. That is wrong. There is no lateral entry. Admissions are to the first year B.Arch programme. However, diploma holders are eligible to apply along with 10+2 candidates. So you can choose any college and apply.

Architecture is a confluence of arts and science. It is a very interactive course where students are encouraged to come up with ideas. Here are the colleges you can prefer for lateral entry in Architecture.

College of Engineering and Technology, Biju Patnaik University of Technology, Bhubaneswar

Trinity College of Architecture, Kondhwa, Pune affiliated to Savitribai Phule Pune University.

Good Luck!
