Yes, it is possible to switch from a Diploma in Mechanical Engineering to a B.Tech in Computer Science Engineering (CSE) through a part-time program, and AICTE (All India Council for Technical Education) approves this route.

AICTE regulations allow diploma holders in engineering to pursue BTech degrees through lateral entry admissions, typically starting in the second year of the program. This reduces the overall program duration compared to starting fresh.

The AICTE website (https://www.aicte-india.org/)  (https://www.aicte-india.org/) provides information on various regulations and approval processes. You can search for specific guidelines related to lateral entry admissions in BTech programs.


I hope it helps!
