Yes, absolutely! After completing your Diploma in Electrical Engineering from Puran Murti Campus, Sonepat, you are fully eligible to pursue a B.Tech (Bachelor of Technology) or B.E. (Bachelor of Engineering) degree through the lateral entry admission process. This is a well-established academic progression route in India that allows diploma holders to enter directly into the second year (3rd semester) of a B.Tech program.
Lateral entry is designed to build on the strong technical foundation that diploma students already have. Since you've already studied core electrical subjects like circuit theory, machines, power systems, and control systems during your diploma, the transition into B.Tech is smoother and more focused. It also means that instead of spending four years in engineering, you'll need only three years to complete your degree.
Admission into B.Tech via lateral entry is usually based on entrance exams like LEET (Lateral Entry Entrance Test) conducted by various state technical education boards or universities. Some private universities and deemed institutions also offer direct admission based on your diploma percentage, especially if you’ve graduated from a recognized institute like Puran Murti Campus.
Pursuing B.Tech after diploma can significantly boost your career opportunities. While diploma holders are typically recruited for technician or junior-level roles, B.Tech graduates are eligible for higher technical roles, engineering design jobs, project management, and even public sector undertakings (PSUs) through competitive exams like GATE. A B.Tech degree also opens the door to postgraduate education (M.Tech, MBA) and research opportunities.
Moreover, many engineering colleges that offer lateral entry also have strong placement programs, labs, and industry tie-ups, giving you access to the same quality of education and career paths as students who joined after 12th.
In short, pursuing a B.Tech after your diploma is not only possible but highly beneficial. It can elevate your career to the next level, provide better salary packages, and offer long-term stability and growth in the electrical engineering domain.
