NO, there is no chance to apply JEE Main / JEE Advance for diploma student. And you are also not eligible for NIT'S and IIT'S. Because for getting the admission in NIT/IIT, candidate should complete the intermediate. Diploma students have to write ECET exam. After that you skip the first year and join second year in b-tech.

Hello Anupa,


You can surely apply for JEE Mains, after completing your diploma. You will have to be thorough with Mathematics, Physics and Chemistry. After qualifying the Mains with good marks and percentile, you will get admission in Engineering colleges as first year student. They will not accept any student as lateral entry during admissions. To get admission in NITs and IITs you will have to qualify JEE Advanced as well.


All the best!

Hi aspirant,

yes you can apply for JEE examination.

JEE is one of the most aspired exam for the students who want to go to IIT institutes. There will be no age limit to appear in the JEE Main exam 2021.  However, some institutes have an age limit for the admission. here are some eligibility criteria you should know-

  • Applicants must qualify their 10+2 or equivalent examination from a recognized board.
  • Applicants appearing for JEE Main 2021 must have passed class 12th with Physics & Mathematics as compulsory subjects along with other subjects like  Chemistry, Biotechnology, Biology,  et cetera. Can also take any vocational subject like Technical Vocational subject.
  • Only thing you should remember is that, a diploma holder can apply in JEE Main 2021. But their rank & score in JEE Main will not be considered for admission in NITs & CFTIs.

Hope that helps.
