Hello Meheer Pawar ,

Yes , they do offer lateral entry for diploma students you need to write DECT conducted by KEA. Now coming to eligibility other state students can write the exam but you need to get very decent rank since the reservation for other states are very less.You need a very high rank in DECT. Most of the seats are reserved for the state domicile students .

one for more thing that I suggest you as a friend , It's better you talk directly to admissions section and get your doubts cleared. Don't take any help from middlemen .

Hope It Helps

All The Best !!!
