Hello Deepanshu

Yes, you can take lateral entry into the CSE branch in government colleges after completing a Diploma in Civil Engineering through the lateral entry scheme . However, there are some key points to consider:

1. Eligibility:

   • A minimum of 60% marks in your diploma (varies by state and college).
     
     
   • Some states and colleges may require you to clear a lateral entry entrance exam like LEET (Lateral Entry Entrance Test), JELET (West Bengal), or AP ECET (Andhra Pradesh).
     
     

2. Branch Change: Transition from Civil to CSE is allowed in some states and colleges but depends on the availability of seats and the specific college's admission rules.
   
   

3. Admission Process:

   • Apply for the relevant lateral entry exam.
     
     
   • After qualifying, participate in the counseling process and select CSE as your preferred branch.
     
     

4. State-Specific Rules: Some states may have restrictions on branch changes for diploma holders from unrelated fields.

Check the official website of the target government colleges or state technical education board for precise details.
