Yes, a candidate who has completed a 3-year Tool and Die Making Diploma from GTTC (Government Tool Room and Training Centre) can join a BE in Mechanical Engineering through lateral entry in many engineering colleges, including those in Tamil Nadu, provided they meet the following conditions:

Lateral Entry Eligibility:

  1. Diploma in Engineering : The candidate must have completed a 3-year diploma in Mechanical Engineering or a related field (like Tool and Die Making).

  2. Minimum Marks : Typically, a minimum of 50% to 60% in the diploma is required, but this can vary based on the institution.

  3. Lateral Entry Admission : Lateral entry typically allows direct admission to the second year (3rd semester) of the B.E./B.Tech program. This is possible at various engineering colleges in Tamil Nadu, including government and private institutions.

Admission Process:

  • Entrance Exam : Some colleges may have a lateral entry entrance exam (like TNEA Lateral Entry in Tamil Nadu).
