Can I join directly in the 2nd year?

Yes, you can join directly into the second year of a Diploma in Automobile Engineering College in Delhi through the lateral entry scheme, which is specifically designed for students who have already completed Class 12 with PCM (Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics) or a two-year ITI (Industrial Training Institute) course in a related trade.

Lateral entry allows eligible students to skip the first year of the diploma program and begin directly from the second year. This is a great option for those who have already gained some foundational technical knowledge or vocational training. It helps save time and allows students to move faster toward completing their diploma and entering the job market or continuing with further studies.

In most colleges, including institutes like Puran Murti Campus, this admission process is regulated by the rules set by AICTE (All India Council for Technical Education) and state technical education boards like HSBTE or Delhi’s DTE. The number of seats available for lateral entry may be limited, and they are usually allotted on a merit basis, depending on your performance in Class 12 or ITI.

Students coming through lateral entry are placed directly into the second year (third semester) of the three-year diploma program. From there, they continue with specialized subjects like automotive engines, vehicle design, transmission systems, auto electronics, and CAD for automobiles, just like regular students.

This option is particularly beneficial for those who:

  • Have completed 12th Science and now want to shift to a more practical and career-focused program.

  • Have taken a relevant ITI course (like Motor Mechanic Vehicle, Fitter, Diesel Mechanic, etc.) and want to enhance their qualifications with a recognized diploma.

  • Want to eventually pursue a B.Tech degree via lateral entry after completing the diploma, which further shortens their total education timeline.

So yes, if you've completed either Class 12 (with PCM) or a 2-year ITI, you are very much eligible for lateral entry into the second year of a Diploma in Automobile Engineering College in Delhi.
