Hello!

Yes, diploma holders in Automobile Engineering can get lateral entry into B.Tech/B.E. programs in Andhra Pradesh through the ECET (Engineering Common Entrance Test) . However, there are a few things to check:

1. Availability of Automobile Engineering – Not all universities offer a direct lateral entry into B.Tech Automobile Engineering . Some may have related branches like Mechanical Engineering , which you can join and later specialize in automobile-related subjects.

2. Andhra University – Andhra University primarily offers lateral entry into core engineering branches. You need to check if Automobile Engineering is available for lateral entry or if you should opt for Mechanical Engineering instead.

3. ECET Eligibility – You must qualify in the AP ECET and secure a good rank to get a seat in a reputed college.
