Yes, after completing your Diploma in Computer Science and Engineering (CSE) at Puran Murti Campus in Sonepat, you absolutely have the option to continue your education and pursue a B.Tech degree. This is made possible through the Lateral Entry Entrance Test (LEET), which allows diploma holders to gain direct admission into the second year of a B.Tech program in their respective branch.
The lateral entry pathway is a well-established route in India for students who have completed a three-year diploma and wish to move ahead academically without starting from the first year again. By entering directly into the second year, you save time and continue your journey toward earning a full engineering degree. This not only enhances your knowledge but also improves your career prospects, as B.Tech graduates are eligible for a wider range of positions and often receive higher salary packages compared to diploma holders.
The LEET exam is conducted at both the national and state levels, depending on the university or technical board you're applying to. In the case of Haryana, the Haryana State Technical Education Society (HSTES) typically handles the admissions process for lateral entry into affiliated colleges. Students who perform well in LEET can choose from various government and private engineering colleges offering B.Tech in Computer Science and related disciplines.
Once admitted, the curriculum picks up from the diploma foundation and delves deeper into advanced topics such as artificial intelligence, data science, cybersecurity, cloud computing, full-stack development, machine learning, and more. You’ll also have access to better lab facilities, campus placements, internships, and research opportunities that further prepare you for high-level jobs in the IT and tech industries.
Moreover, students who pursue B.Tech after diploma are often better prepared than regular entrants because they’ve already gained a hands-on understanding of core subjects during their diploma. This gives them an academic and practical edge in higher studies and future employment.
