    Yes, as a three-year diploma holder in architecture, you may be eligible for lateral entry admission to Lovely Professional University's (LPU) Bachelor of Architecture (B.Arch) program or its related courses, depending on your qualifications and the program's eligibility criteria. LPU is renowned for offering lateral entry options, allowing diploma holders to continue their education seamlessly and reduce the course duration compared to regular admissions.

    For a diploma holder, the course duration for a B.Arch program is typically shorter than the standard five years, as students may receive exemptions for certain foundational subjects.
