Hello,

Sorry but you can't get a lateral entery in IIT's and NIT's.

Hello Jaydeep Barthwal. Thanks for contacting Careers360 and we hope we will be able to answer your query.

The answer to your question is unfortunately "no".

As per the rules, it is not possible to get into IITs/NITs via lateral entry. 

Diploma holders are eligible to get direct admission in 2nd year of B.Tech only through different CET’s of state governments.

While this may be counted as a certain disadvantage to a section of students, do try to understand that the rigourous preparation which churns out effective candidates cannot be replicated in any way in a lateral system.

As a result, no you can't get into an IIT/ NIT.

Hope this helps you and all the best!
