Hello,
I would like to tell you that the Diploma holders are not permitted to take JEE Mains as Diploma program is for 3 years.
There are many other eligibility criteria for JEE like:
- 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 do not have any lateral entry seats for diploma holders.
I would suggest you to apply to other top Engineering colleges for lateral entry on basis of your Diploma aggregate scores.
Hope this helps and all the very best!
