Question: How is the course curriculum for After 10th Diploma at Thapar Polytechnic College?

Yes, as a CSE Diploma holder from Thapar Polytechnic College, Patiala, you are eligible to apply for lateral entry into the B.Tech programme at PEC Chandigarh (Punjab Engineering College). However, there are a few points to keep in mind:

1. Eligibility Criteria:

   • You must have completed a 3-year Diploma in Computer Science and Engineering (CSE) from a recognised institution with a minimum of 60% marks (or as per the specific eligibility requirements set by PEC).
   • Some institutes might also require that the Diploma be completed in a specific stream, such as Computer Science or Information Technology.

2. Lateral Entry Exam:

   • You may need to appear for the Lateral Entry Entrance Test (LEET), conducted by PEC or the state government, depending on the current admission process.

3. Seat Availability:

   • The number of seats available for lateral entry students is usually limited, and the competition can be high. So, meeting the eligibility requirements alone doesn't guarantee admission.

4. Application Process:

   • You will need to apply through the lateral entry admission process specified by PEC. This usually involves filling out an application form and providing necessary documents like your diploma, mark sheets, and other certificates.
