How can I get admission in mechanical engineering as I completed my 12th with commerce??
Since you completed 12th with commerce, you can get into Mechanical Engineering through these options:
1. Study PCM via NIOS → Pass Physics, Chemistry, and Math, then appear for JEE or state exams.
2. Diploma in Mechanical Engineering → Join a 3-year diploma, then take lateral entry into B.Tech 2nd year.
3. B.Sc. + Lateral Entry → Do B.Sc. (Maths/Physics), then apply for B.Tech 2nd year in some universities.
4. Private Universities → Some offer B.Tech with a bridge course for non-science students.
The diploma route is the fastest.
Hello Tanish,
If you have completed your 12th with commerce, then you are not eligible for direct admission in a regular B.Tech or B.E. Mechanical Engineering course. These courses need Physics, Chemistry, and Maths (PCM) in 12th.
But here are a few options you can think about:
-
Do Diploma in Mechanical Engineering – Some states allow commerce students in diploma courses. After completing the diploma, you can try for lateral entry into B.Tech 2nd year.
-
Do 12th again with PCM – If you are really serious about mechanical engineering, you can do 12th again with science stream (PCM) and then apply for engineering entrance exams like JEE, state CET, etc.
-
Other related courses – You can also go for some short-term mechanical-related technical courses (like CAD, CAM) or other fields where commerce students are eligible.
Hope it helps !
