Hello Devanshi,

Your last year diploma score of 81.57 % is quite excellent. And Yess, you are eligible to get lateral entry in CS Branch in Second year for B.Tech. However, your admission to any college depends on whether lateral entry through diploma score is available to that college or not. If lateral entry is available to college then it will be through merit. This depends on following factors,

1. Seat Matrix

2. Your category.

I request you to kindly prepare a list of your preferred colleges and then go through last 5 year cut off. Admission will be centralized process. So, competitive state authority will release forms for registration. After that they will release seat matrix for each college where seats for lateral entry are available. Where you can check no of seats available according to category. Then you have to fill option form according to your preference of college. Based on merit and your preference you will be allotted college.

Hope this answers your query. All the best !!
