Can I join after class 12 directly?

Yes, students who have completed class 12 with PCM (Physics, Chemistry, Mathematics) or those who hold an ITI certificate in a relevant trade can join the Polytechnic in ECE College in Delhi NCR directly in the second year of the course. This process is known as lateral entry admission.

Normally, the Polytechnic in ECE diploma is a 3-year program for students after class 10. But with lateral entry, the duration is reduced to 2 years, since you already have a higher qualification in science or a technical field. This saves one academic year and allows you to complete your diploma faster.

Many reputed colleges, such as Puran Murti Campus in Delhi NCR, offer lateral entry admissions under this system. The admission process may be based on merit (your 12th/ITI marks) or through an entrance test, depending on the institute’s policy.

Lateral entry is especially beneficial for students who:

  • Completed 12th with Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics, but want a practical, job-oriented diploma instead of going for a regular degree.

  • Hold an ITI certificate and want to upgrade their technical knowledge to a diploma level.

  • Want to save time and enter the workforce or higher studies like B Tech more quickly.

After completing Polytechnic in ECE through lateral entry, students can still pursue higher education like B Tech in ECE or related fields via lateral entry to the 2nd year of B Tech. They also get access to the same career opportunities as regular diploma students, including jobs in telecom, electronics, IT hardware, automation, and more.

So yes, if you have completed 12th with PCM or ITI, you don’t need to start from the beginning—you can directly enter the second year of Polytechnic in ECE and fast-track your engineering career.
