Hello Pavan,

Generally, to be eligible for joining a B.Tech program through lateral entry (Direct Second Year) after a diploma, you need to have completed your diploma successfully without any pending subjects. Most colleges and universities require you to have passed all subjects in your diploma to be eligible for lateral entry.

Here’s what you can do:

1. Complete the Subject : It's best to clear the pending subject in your diploma first. This will ensure you meet the eligibility criteria for lateral entry.
   
   

2. Check Specific College Requirements : Some colleges might have different policies, so check with the specific institutions you're interested in to see if they allow admission with pending subjects.
   
   

3. Bridge Courses : In some cases, institutions might offer bridge courses or allow provisional admission with the condition that you clear the pending subject within a specified time frame.

It’s advisable to complete all diploma requirements to have a smooth transition to a B.Tech program.
