Hello,

Yes dear you can entry as a lateral candidate in VIT or any engineering college also. But you didn't mention your diploma stream. But your diploma college have to approve by AICTE and your diploma marks will be 45% mandatory for lateral admission in VIT. And there is no direct admission is occurred. You have to give VITEEE examination then you have to qualified it. After all this you have to take admission there.
