Are lateral entry Diploma holders eligible for JEE Mains?

After 12th, I have admitted to the 2nd year of the 3-year Diploma course through lateral entry scheme. Am I eligible to appear for JEE Mains and get admitted to the 1st year of an NIT/IIT on the basis of the Diploma (not 12th)?

Yes, Diploma holders are eligible to appear for IIT JEE 2019, but they will be considered similar to 12th passed candidates.
