Hi Rudra Viroja,

There is no direct lateral entry into the second year for diploma holders. Candidates must qualify in BITSAT and meet the minimum eligibility criteria, which includes passing the 12th examination with Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics/Biology from a recognized board, with specific marks in each subject and a minimum aggregate.

• Apply online through the official BITS Pilani website.
