IITs do NOT accept diploma holders directly into B.Tech courses.

• To be eligible, you must:

  • Pass Class 12 with Physics, Chemistry, and Math .

  • Then appear for JEE Main , qualify, and be among the top candidates to take JEE Advanced .

So, if you joined diploma after 10th, you must first complete 12th , then follow the regular JEE path.

For NITs (National Institutes of Technology):

• NITs also do not offer lateral entry into B.Tech through diploma.

• Admission is through JEE Main , which requires a Class 12 qualification with PCM.

Some NITs offer lateral entry into 2nd year B.Tech through other programs but not via diploma holders in India .
