Yes, you can join the Polytechnic in AME College in Delhi directly in the second year through lateral entry, provided you meet the required qualifications. Lateral entry is designed for students who already have a stronger academic or technical background and want to save time by skipping the first year.
To be eligible, you must have either:
Passed 12th with Science (PCM or PCB) from a recognised board, or
Completed an ITI in a relevant trade from a recognised institute.
These qualifications show that you already understand basic science and technical concepts, so you can smoothly enter the second year.
Lateral entry is a great option because it reduces the duration of your diploma and helps you start your Aircraft Maintenance Engineering training faster. The admission process is simple, and the college guides you at each step. Overall, it makes the course more flexible and accessible for students with prior knowledge or technical experience.
