7 years agoHi Arpith, For admission in NIT/IIT, you must appear for JEE Mains then JEE Advanced. Unless you appear for the entrance exam you won't get admission in National Institute of Technology/IIT. Apart from IIT and NIT, most colleges in India offer lateral entry for Diploma students. These colleges do reserve some seats for lateral entry students. Regards.
