Yes. Many Diploma in Civil Engineering Colleges in Panipat offer a lateral entry option for students who have completed ITI in a related trade or 12th with Science (PCM). Through this pathway, you can join directly in the second year of the diploma course, effectively skipping the first year.
This saves you both time and fees, allowing you to complete your diploma in just two years instead of three. The college still ensures that you learn all the important concepts and practical skills covered in the skipped year. Bridge courses and orientation programs are provided so you can catch up on any topics you may have missed.
Lateral entry is especially beneficial for students who already have some technical knowledge and want to fast-track their education. Many students use this option to enter the workforce earlier or to continue their studies in B.Tech Civil Engineering after the diploma.
