How to get admission in IITs after Diploma?
How to get admission in IITs after Diploma? - There are students who take up a diploma in engineering after completing class 10 or class 12 due to some reasons in order to get early employment. But there are few who wish to pursue further studies after diploma and for such students, some institutes offer lateral entry with direct admission into second year of B. Tech for diploma holders. But so is not the case with the Indian Institutes of Technology (IITs). In order to get admission in IIT after diploma, there is no provision for special entry and thus, students have to appear in the JEE Advanced examination which is the only way to get into IITs for undergraduate course in engineering. Thus, candidates may refer to the complete article below and know the complete process on how to get admission in IIT after diploma.

Lateral Admissions at IIT
The Indian Institutes of Technology do not offer admission in Bachelor of engineering courses through lateral entry. There is no provision for admission to diploma holders in IITs wherein they could be able to get direct entry into the second year of the 4 year degree programme. So, a candidate who has completed diploma in engineering and aspires to pursue further studies from one of the top engineering institutes in India, i.e. Indian Institutes of Technology, the option that remains is through a general pathway through which a 10+2 pass out proceeds, through JEE Main and JEE Advanced. This way, they will be able to get admission in the first year of B. Tech course at IIT.
IIT B. Tech Admission through JEE Advanced
The Indian Institutes of Technology are ones that allow students with a diploma in engineering to get enrolled into B. Tech courses, provided that they follow the usual path to undergraduate admissions. There is a specific procedure to be followed to get admission in IIT after diploma which has been explained hereunder:
Attempt JEE Main - Candidates have to register and appear for Joint Entrance Examination JEE Main which is the common entrance for engineering admissions into various institutes, provided that not all the institutes allow admissions to diploma holders, in case a candidate opts to go for admissions into institutions other than that of IITs. JEE Main is conducted by the National Testing Agency twice a year, usually in January and April.
Qualify JEE Main among top 2,50,000 ranks - Those candidates who qualify the JEE Main exam being among the top 2,50,000 rank holders are eligible to apply for JEE Advanced examination.
Attempt JEE Advanced - As mentioned just before, the candidates who qualify the JEE Main examination below 2,50,000 ranks have to apply for Joint Entrance Entrance Examination JEE Advanced. The exam is conducted once a year by one of the Indian Institutes of Technology which changes every year.
Qualify JEE Advanced - The conducting authorities release a common cutoff for JEE Advanced and those who have a score above the specified cutoff according to their category are considered to have qualified the exam. However, the particular IITs that the candidates wish to apply for have their cutoffs released separately as well. So in order to apply for admission in IIT after diploma, candidates should assure to comply with the institute’s cutoff as well.
JoSAA Counselling - The Joint Seat Allocation Authority (JoSAA) is the body that conducts the further counselling process Thus, the JEE Advanced qualified candidates will have to further apply for registration for JoSAA and do the choice filling as well. They will then have to participate in JoSAA Counselling which is conducted in online mode. Thereafter, the authorities will release the rank list according to which allocation of seats will take place and admissions will be done in IIT.
First Year B. Tech Admission - As the whole process is accomplished, candidates will be required to pay the requisite fee in order to get admission in IIT after diploma into the first year of B. Tech as explained above that IITs do not provide admissions to diploma holders into the second year through lateral entry.
Thus, it can be concluded that however students who wish to pursue B. Tech with admission in IIT after diploma suffer the loss of an year, doing engineering from a top institute is not at all a matter of loss. So if the student thinks that he or she is determined enough to crack the JEE Advanced examination, there should be no space for second thoughts.

Questions related to JEE Advanced
what would be my rank if I got 120 marks in jee advance 2021and which college i would get
Dear aspirant,
As far as jee advanced is concerned every year the total marks changes and accordingly the ranks. So, nobody can predict your jee advanced rank until and unless the total marks is known.
Still if i consider 360 marks as a barrier then if you score 120 marks out of it you should be able to grab around 8-9k rank but kindly note these are only my predictions and these will vary definitely.
So, i would recommend you to not to think about your rank and be focussed to give your best shot at the exam.
what will be my rank if I got 120 marks in jee advance 2021and which college i would get
If you are a general candidate then with 120 marks in jee advanced 2021, rhe chances of getting rank under 10000 is negligible or no chance. Because for general category students you have to score minimum of 130 marks ( as per the latest trend ). And also every year the total marks changes and this the cutoff also changes.
So, for getting a college and via jee advanced your score must be around 200 or 210 to get a good college like iit and with scoring about 210 marks it will be good enough to get you a rank under 2000.
So, with 120 marks you cannot get ant iit college.
differentiate the difficult level of neet, jee mains,jee advance
Hi
JEE and NEET are two completely different examinations, so comparing them is quite difficult.
Jee main is gateway to engineering colleges including NITs, IIITs, CFTIs while NEET is the gateway to medical colleges for MBBS, BDS, ayush courses and veterinary i.e BVSc . In jee main, questions are asked from physics, chemistry and maths while in NEET questions are asked from physics, chemistry and Biology.
But yes,
As far as difficulty level of the question is concerned JEE MAIN is TOUGHER than neet.
This is because,
In jee main both breadth and depth of questions is covered, I mean you will see variety of questions and many tricky ones are asked as well , but in neet only breadth or variety of questions are there but these are generally formula based, question of very high difficulty level is not asked and overall paper in general remains easy to moderate.
In terms of competition,
neet is tougher because, number of seats in government medical colleges is handful when considered to Engineering colleges. And when someone doesn't get a seat in a govt medical college then generally he has no other options as fee of private medical colleges is insanely high and it can be up to around 1 crore unlike engineering where even if you don't perform very well, you still have choice of decent private colleges at affordable fee.
Coming to JEE advanced, it is conducted by IITs.
JEE advanced is the toughest when it comes to level of difficulty.
This is because,
In JEE advanced questions single concept questions are rarely asked ,questions are a mix of two or more concepts which makes them very tricky and to solve them you need to have deep understanding of the concepts. Also in JEE advanced you have MCQs having more than one correct options and its paper pattern keeps changing a bit every year which makes it challenging
So, in Short, in terms of level of difficulty:-
JEE ADVANCED > JEE MAIN > NEET
