No, a diploma in Mechanical Engineering won't directly qualify you for entry into the second year of a Bachelor of Engineering (BE) or Bachelor of Technology (BTech) program in Instrumentation Engineering

Mechanical Engineering and Instrumentation Engineering are distinct disciplines with varying course content. While there might be some overlap in basic engineering principles, the focus areas and specializations differ significantly.

Universities usually have limited flexibility for credit transfer between programs, especially for substantial portions like a full year of a different engineering degree.

I hope it helps!
