Hello,

Yes after completing diploma you can go for lateral entry without further wasting your precious time.

Lateral entry is offered in many colleges and talking about Delhi there are two that offer this platform.

IPU AND DTU these two universities offer lateral entry programs.

And for that you have to give entrance exam and pass with a good score .

IPU has many colleges under it and it's good with low fees and satisfying facilities.
