Yes, of course you are eligible to apply for B.Arch after completing Diploma in Civil Engineering course. You are required to appear and qualify in the Entrance Exam for taking admission in B Arch after Diploma in Civil Engineering. Since, you have done Diploma in Architecture then you can direct admission into the second year of B Arch through Lateral Entry.

You can appear in the entrance exam such as,

- NATA Examination
- IIT JEE Examination

You can B.Tech instead of B.Arch. If you want to B.Arch, then you have to clear entrance exam of B.Arch course.

You can take admission 2nd year of B.Tech after completion of diploma through LEET exam.
