Hello there,

If you have completed a 2-year diploma in B.A. (Bachelor of Arts) and are looking to take admission directly into the 3rd year (lateral entry) of a regular B.A. program, here are the key points to consider:

1. University Policy Matters

• Admission into the 3rd year is generally not allowed directly unless the university follows a Credit Transfer or Lateral Entry system.
  
  

• You must confirm with the university where you want to study whether they accept students into the 3rd year based on a 2-year diploma.
  
  2. Credit Transfer Option

• Some open universities (like IGNOU, NSOU, etc.) or private universities offer credit transfer or allow entry into the final year through distance education or modular programs .
  
  3. Apply Through Bridge Course (If Needed)

• If direct entry to the 3rd year is not possible, you may be required to take a bridge course or rejoin from the 2nd year depending on the institution’s rules.
  
  4. Documentation

• Keep your diploma mark sheets and completion certificates ready.

• Submit these to the target university’s admission office for eligibility evaluation.

I hope this answer helps you. If you have more queries then feel free to ask. We will be happy to assist you.

Thank You and wishing you a bright future ahead.
