Absolutely. After completing the Diploma in Electronics and Communication Engineering (ECE) from Puran Murti Campus, Sonepat, you are fully eligible to pursue a B.Tech or B.E. degree in the same or a related engineering field through the lateral entry scheme. This is a well-established academic pathway in India that allows diploma holders to directly enter the second year of a B.Tech program, effectively saving one full year of study.
The lateral entry route is recognized and accepted by engineering colleges across the country, both in government and private sectors. After completing your diploma, you can appear for various lateral entry entrance exams, such as LEET (Lateral Entry Entrance Test), conducted by state technical education boards or individual universities. Your performance in the diploma course and in the entrance exam will determine your eligibility for admission into the second year of a B.Tech program.
This transition is smooth for ECE diploma students because much of the foundational knowledge—like circuit theory, digital electronics, microprocessors, and communication systems—is already covered in the diploma. Therefore, students who take up B.Tech ECE after a diploma often find themselves better prepared for advanced subjects.
Completing a B.Tech after a diploma not only increases your academic qualifications but also significantly boosts your career prospects. With a degree in hand, you become eligible for higher-level engineering roles, public sector jobs through competitive exams (like GATE or PSU recruitment), and even postgraduate studies such as M.Tech or MBA.
