Yes. Many Polytechnic in Mechanical Engineering Colleges in Delhi, including Puran Murti, offer a lateral entry option for eligible students. If you have completed Class 12 with Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics (PCM) or you have passed a relevant ITI trade (usually 2 years), you can directly join the second year of the diploma program.
This entry system helps students save one full year and move faster toward technical training. Lateral entry students study the same syllabus as regular students and get full access to labs, workshops, and industrial training. It is a good opportunity for candidates who want to enter the engineering field without repeating topics they already learned in ITI or 12th PCM.
