I feel sorry to say, lateral entry is not allowed in NITs and IITs. But, don't loose hope. You can complete your B.Tech in other top state government colleges and private colleges, which defined will be fruitful for you. All the best.

I am so sorry to inform you that, there is no lateral entry in NITs and IITs. But, you can write JEE next year and get into NIT as a first year student. One extra year you will be spending for it, will be worthy, if you can get into an IIT or NITs.
