With a KCET rank of around 18,000, you can get good colleges in Bangalore for AI and ECE courses. Some possible options include MVJ College of Engineering, Sir MVIT, and Bangalore Institute of Technology.

Diploma in EEE is eligible for lateral entry (direct 2nd year) in some colleges.

  • Apply with Diploma Marks or Entrance Rank.

  • Attend Counseling / Admission Rounds.

  • Join in 2nd Year of B.Tech Aerospace.

Finishing a diploma in Electrical and Electronics Engineering, you can opt for a course in Aerospace Engineering.


You can consider lateral entry: Many engineering colleges give students who have a diploma the option to enter the 2nd year straight in a similar B.Tech program. Learn whether the college takes in students for Aerospace Engineering using lateral entry.


If you wish to join Aerospace Engineering but it isn’t offered as a lateral entry, try joining either Mechanical or Electrical Engineering and move to Aerospace Engineering later.


You can be required to attend an entrance exam such as the state’s lateral entry test or a counseling session based on the marks you receive in your diploma.


You might look into private universities: They often let diploma holders be more flexible about starting in courses connected to aerospace.


If you cannot start with aerospace engineering lateral entry, you can apply after your bachelor’s degree in a related field.

Hello Niveditha,

With a MET score of 79 and 89% in CBSE board exams, your predicted MET rank is likely to be above 40,000 .

For admission to Electronics and Communication (EC) at the Manipal Main Campus , previous trends suggest that the closing rank is usually within 10,000 to 20,000 .

So, with your current score, getting EC at the main campus is unlikely through the general counseling rounds. However, you may:

  • Wait for spot rounds where cutoffs sometimes drop.

  • Consider MIT Bengaluru or other campuses under Manipal group that have relatively lower cutoffs.

  • Reappear for the next MET attempt if eligible, as a better score can improve your chances.


I hope this answer helps you. If you have more queries, feel free to share your questions with us, and we will be happy to assist you.

Thank you, and I wish you all the best in your bright future.

Yes, you can get admission in B.E. (Electronics and Telecommunication) after scoring 70% in diploma. Here's a simple explanation in points:

1. Eligibility: Most colleges accept diploma holders with 60% or more marks for lateral entry into the 2nd year of B.E/B.Tech.

2. Lateral Entry Scheme: You can join directly in the 2nd year of B.E through lateral entry.

3. Entrance Exams: Some states/colleges may require you to clear an entrance exam like LEET or state-level tests.

. 70% is Good: A 70% score is considered decent and makes you eligible for many good colleges.

5. Apply on Time: Keep track of admission dates and required documents.

Hi aspirant,

Based on your graduation, you have a good probability of being admitted to a B.E. in Electronics and Telecommunications via lateral entry. Most engineering institutes in India enable diploma holders to enter the second year of their B.E./B.Tech program through lateral entry. The standard eligibility condition is passing a diploma in the relevant discipline of engineering with a minimal percentage, which is usually between 50 and 60%. Since you have obtained 70%, you will easily meet this percentage criterion in most universities. However, admission may also be determined by the specific college's standards, entrance tests (if any, held at the state or university level for lateral entry), and seat availability. Check the admission policies of the colleges you're interested in.

All the best!

if you have completed your diploma in engineering and secured 70% marks , you can generally apply for admission to a B.E. (Bachelor of Engineering) in Electronics and Telecommunication through Lateral Entry .

Key points about Lateral Entry :

  1. Eligibility Criteria :

    • You should have completed your diploma in engineering (in a related branch like Electronics, Electrical, or Telecommunication).

    • Many universities or institutions require at least a 60-70% score in your diploma to be eligible for Lateral Entry admission.

  2. Admission Process :

    • Direct Lateral Entry Admission : You can join directly into the second year (3rd semester) of the B.E. program.

    • Entrance Exams : Some colleges might conduct their own entrance exams or accept scores from state-level or national-level exams for lateral entry, such as LEET (Lateral Entry Entrance Test) or the JEE Mains exam.

    • Eligibility and Application : Check the specific eligibility criteria of the colleges or universities you are interested in, as requirements might vary slightly. Also, you would need to submit the relevant documents during the application process.

Important:

  • Colleges and Universities : Make sure the college you are applying to offers Lateral Entry for your desired branch (Electronics and Telecommunication).

  • Specific Requirements : Some colleges may require you to have a diploma in a related discipline (such as Electronics, Electrical, or Telecommunication).
