I completed my 3 years regular full time Diploma course in Electronics and Telecommunication. So, which engineering branch can apply for BE or B.Tech? Should I apply for ETC only or can I change my branch?

1. When you have done diploma in Electronics and Telecommunication Engineering then you should go for this stream only in Bachelor's degree in technology or engineering. It will be beneficial for you.

2. You must apply for Lateral Entry Entrance Test for admission in second year of engineering course. You are also eligible for IIT admission through JEE exam.

If you want to get admission in the lateral entry to B.Tech on the basis of your diploma then yes you have to continue the B.tech also with the same branch as you studied in your Diploma.

<> Lateral entry to B.Tech scheme is intended to admit meritorious diploma holders to second year of B.Tech courses to acquire a degree is engineering. Students entering directly through lateral entry, complete their engineering in 3 years/ 6 semesters.

<> Exam Procedure, branch or specialization and the degree everything remains the same for the applying candidates.
