Yes, students can directly enter the second year of the Diploma in ECE College in Panipat through the lateral entry scheme. This option is specially designed for students who have already studied technical subjects at a higher level, so they don’t need to repeat the basics covered in the first year.
The eligibility for lateral entry is simple. If you have completed 10+2 in Science (with Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics) or 10+2 in a technical stream (like Vocational/ITI-related subjects), you are eligible. Students who have done a two-year ITI (Industrial Training Institute) program in a relevant trade such as Electronics, Electrical, or Computer-related fields can also apply for admission directly into the second year of the diploma.
The reason behind this option is that ITI and Science students already have knowledge of mathematics, physics, and basic electronics, which are the foundation subjects in the first year of the diploma. By skipping the first year, these students can save time, money, and effort while moving faster towards advanced subjects in electronics and communication engineering.
Through lateral entry, students start directly with second-year courses like digital electronics, microprocessors, analog communication, network theory, and electronic circuit design. They also get early exposure to workshops, practical labs, and project work, which helps in building technical confidence.
This pathway is highly beneficial for ITI students who want to upgrade their qualification and career opportunities. Instead of stopping at ITI, they can pursue a diploma and later even join B.Tech in Electronics and Communication Engineering through another lateral entry after diploma completion.
In short, the lateral entry admission option allows students from ITI or Science/Technical streams to:
So, if you have completed 10+2 (Science/Technical) or a 2-year ITI, you can confidently join the Diploma in ECE College in Panipat in the second year and fast-track your professional growth.
