There is no provision for admission to ITI/Diploma holders in IITs wherein they could be able to get direct entry into the second year of the 4 year degree programme. So, for a student who has completed an ITI/Diploma in engineering and aspires to pursue further studies from one of the top engineering institutes in India, I. e. IIT, the option that remains is through a general pathway through which 10+2 pass-out proceeds, through JEE Advanced.
