When you want to do Civil Engineering and yet you have not done so well in Polytechnic, you do not need to lose it all:

lateral btech

In case you have made a 3 year Polytechnic Diploma, you may seek Lateral Entry to the B.Tech Civil Engineering second year.

Even when your marks are low, few private colleges may admit you in management quota or by direct admission.

Chances in government colleges are normally more difficult; it is your scores in the diploma levels.

2. Admission in Private Colleges.

There are other engineering colleges which provide admission to you which is based on the 12 th marks or even on the diploma marks.

They could be lesser cut-offs with relaxed requirements as compared to government colleges.

3. Better Your Diploma Grades

Work on your grades or related skills/certifications or work on any aspects that can enhance your profile to get into the admission process.

If your marks in polytechnic are low but you still want to do a Civil Engineering course, don’t worry,you still have options. If you’ve completed your diploma, you can try for direct admission into the 2nd year of B.Tech (this is called lateral entry). Most states allow this through special counselling for diploma students. Even if your marks are low, you might still get a seat depending on your category and the college.

If you want to start B.Tech from 1st year, you can give exams like JEE Main or your state’s CET exam. Some private colleges also give direct admission based on diploma marks or through management quota,but the fees might be higher.

You should check if your state allows lateral entry with your marks. If not eligible for government colleges, try for private ones. Or prepare for an entrance exam if you want to start from 1st year.

Hello aspirant,

He did Commerce in the 12th, so he was not allowed for lateral entry in diploma after the 12th. But he can take admission on the basis of 10th marks in a diploma.

So, yes, he can be admitted in the first year of the Diploma in Civil Engineering.

2. Govt. Polytechnic College, Nilokheri(Karnal region)

Hope this clears your doubt.All the best to your brother for his admission and future career.

Hello,

Many colleges, especially reputed government and autonomous institutions, are increasingly offering support for students aspiring to prepare for civil services or other government exams. Some universities also provide optional evening or weekend classes, library resources, and access to mock tests or previous year question papers specifically for exams like UPSC, SSC, banking, and state-level services.

Hope this helps. All the best!

hi,

Both NIT Surathkal Civil and RV College EEE are good, but your choice should depend on your interest and future plans.

If you want the NIT tag, a strong campus, and are thinking about higher studies or government jobs, NIT Surathkal Civil is a solid option. It may not have the highest private placements compared to other branches, but it gives you good long-term value.

If you are looking for better placement chances in the private sector and want to explore jobs in core companies or even IT, RV College EEE is a smart choice. EEE also gives you flexibility to move into software jobs if you learn some coding along the way.

Hello Aspirant,

If you plan to pursue a Diploma/Diploma in Civil Engineering from a polytechnic, you will have to follow the steps below:

Check Eligibility Criteria:

Most polytechnics require:

• SSC or HSC with Science/Math
• Percentage of marks (generally 50% to 60%, varies from quadrate policy to quadrate policy )
• Entrance Exams (Some polytechnics are conducting entrance exams such as JEXPO, POLYCET, or state level exams)

Select Polytechnic

Find a government or private polytechnic with civil engineering program. Here are some of the most common polytechnics in India:

• Government Polytechnic funds by state
• NPTI (National Power Training Institute)
• Private Polytechnics assault AICTE* approval (check for approval)

Application Procedure

• For online application, go to official website of the polytechnic or state technical education board.
• Some of them may accept offline application either by courier or in person.

Entrance Exams (If Applicable)

• JEXPO (WEst Bengal)
• POLYCET (Telagana & Andhra Pradesh)
• CET (Common Entrance Tests - State level)

Many things matter in deciding your college, for example, your category, the branch you chose, and the AP PGECET 2024 cutoff marks for each institute. Since CUTOFFS are not provided for individual colleges, I am providing some general pointers according to what happened in the last year.

- This rank between 100 and 500 is regarded as strong and the score of 110-115 associated with it can let the student enter leading colleges that accept AP PGECET.

Branch-Wise Cutoff Ranks: These are the cutoff ranks that were used the year before:

-Open General – Electrical & Electronics Engineering – 170, BC B General – Electrical & Electronics Engineering – 371

If your area is Mechanical Engineering, you will use the Open General stream with code 82, or the BC B stream with code 220.

- Computer Science and Engineering: There are 729 credits in this subject, while the BC B General has 1501.

- AP PGECET Participants: Some of the best institutes joining the AP PGECET are:

- Acharya Nagarjuna University is found in Guntur.

- Andhra University is at Visakhapatnam

Jawaharlal Nehru Technological University (JNT University) located in Anantapur

- Jawaharlal Nehru Technological University in Kakinada

Anathapur’s Sri Krishnadevaraya University

To figure out the possibility of winning, look at the following factors:

You should visit the website regularly to find out the newest information on cutoff scores and where colleges are open.

Check the available information on the sectional and subject-wise cutoffs for Civil Engineering.

Fast and efficient way to gather much-needed information is to contact the colleges about their cutoff ranks and how they admit students.
