Dear Sir,
I have completed Diploma in Mechanical Engineering. Is it possible to take Lateral Entry in NIT College after Diploma in Mechanical Engineering?

No, it is not possible to take Lateral Entry admission in NIT after completion of your Diploma course. NIT's does not offer Lateral Entry admissions in Engineering course. But, you can get admission in other top colleges by appearing and qualifying Lateral Entry examinations like LEET, ECET, JELET, etc.,. Based on your examination rank, you will be allotted a seat in a particular college and you will be offered admission in second year of four years Engineering course.

You have completed Diploma in Mechanical Engineering, so you can get admission in NIT through Lateral Entry exam.

Those candidates who have competed diploma degree are eligible for lateral entry exam.

Your age should be above 17 years.

Admissions in NIT's are offered on the basis of JEE Main examination rank. Being a Diploma holder, you are not eligible to get admission in NIT on the basis of JEE Main examination rank. There is no lateral entry admission proces in NIT. So, you cannot get lateral entry admission in NIT after completion of your Diploma Mechanical Engineering course

No, you are not eligible to get admission in National Institute of Technology after pursuing diploma course.

The admission in institute is conducted after qualifying in JEE Main examination. The eligibility to appear for examination is candidate must have passed 10+2 with PCM as main paper.

So, you are not eligible to appear for examination without pursuing 10+2 and having just diploma course.

You cannot get admission in NITs, IITs via lateral entry after Diploma to pursue B.Tech course. However, if you wish to get admission in NIT for B.Tech after Diploma course, you will have to appear for JEE(Advanced) examination and after completion of the examination with good score you might get admission.

NOTE: You will not get admission in 2nd year but in 1st year of the course and will then have to continue with the course ahead.
