Hello,
As you asked about lateral entry it is just a myth in or misconceotion under architechture so No, unlike b.tech there is no opportunity where you can join B.arch course in 2nd year as a lateral entry student. You have to start the course in 1st year itself.
hope this helps you !
all the best !
