Hello,

Yes, there are government quota seats for Diploma to Degree (D2D) engineering admissions in many states.

These seats are offered through the state counselling process conducted by the Directorate of Technical Education (DTE) or the respective state authority.

Diploma holders can apply for lateral entry admission directly into the 2nd year of B.E./B.Tech under this government quota. The number of seats and eligibility rules vary from state to state.

Hope it helps !
