Hello Anant,

Yes, there are integrated 5-year dual degree programs that combine Diploma (Polytechnic) and B.Tech , allowing students to join directly after 10th class without completing 12th.

About the Program:

• It is often called a 5-Year Integrated Diploma + B.Tech or Diploma to Degree (D2D) program.

• The first 3 years focus on the Diploma (Polytechnic) curriculum.

• The last 2 years are for the B.Tech degree .

• You do not need to pass 12th to join this program.

• Admission is generally based on 10th board marks or a state-level polytechnic entrance exam .
  
  Eligibility:

• Must have passed Class 10 (SSC) with required percentage (varies by state/college).

• No need for 12th (intermediate) qualification.
  
  Some Colleges/Institutes Offering It:

• IcfaiTech , Hyderabad – offers Integrated First Degree Programs after 10th.

• Lovely Professional University (LPU) – offers Diploma + B.Tech path after 10th.

• Government and State Polytechnics – many state-level technical boards (like AP, Telangana, Maharashtra, Tamil Nadu, etc.) offer lateral entry to B.Tech after 3-year Diploma.

• Kalinga Institute of Industrial Technology (KIIT) – has integrated programs.

• Some private universities and autonomous colleges also run such programs under special schemes.
  
  How to Apply:

• Appear for the relevant polytechnic entrance exam (like POLYCET in Telangana/AP, DTE exams in Maharashtra).

• After completing Diploma, you will get direct entry into 2nd year of B.Tech (through lateral entry or as per college structure).

This is a good option if you want to pursue engineering without going through 12th class. Always check with the specific college or state board for the exact admission procedure and course structure.
