Hello Aman,

You can fill the form for JEE Main, but please note that as per the JEE Mains rule, To appear in JEE (Advanced) a diploma holder can apply in JEE (Main) 2019 but his/her rank and NTA score for JEE (Main) will not be declared as diploma holders cannot apply for admission to NITs and CFTIs through JEE (Main) channel.

Hi

Diploma holders are not permitted to take JEE Mains as Diploma program is for 3 years.

For Btech courses via JEE Main, candidates need to be from Scienece stream only with PCM subjects as mandatory and 75% aggregate score in Class12th from resepctive board.

Diploma holders are allowed for direct entry from second year of Engineering on the basis of aggregate diploma scores.

However, IITs and NiTs donot have any lateral entry seats for diploma holders.

You can alternatively apply to ofher top Engineering colleges for lateral entry on basis of your Diploma aggregate scores.


Thank you::)

Hello aspirant

According to the official brochure,

  • you will be able to appear for JEE Main examination if you have completed a diploma recognized by AICTE or a state board of technical education of at least 3-year duration.
  • However, technically, you can only attempt the exam for the purpose of qualifying to appear for JEE Advanced.
  • You will not be able to take admissions in the NITs, CFTIs or the IIITs as diploma candidates are not eligible for these admissions.

Hope above information is helpful to you

If you have any quire's please let me know

Thank you
