    Hi,
    I want to say that that if you have done Diploma in mechanical and you want lateral entry, then Chandigarh University is the one which provides you with the course of mechanical engineering through LEET entry. You can directly get admission in the second year if you clear the LEET exam. Secondly, this university has the best up to date course scheme for you, well trained and educated faculty, rich resource libraries, and the campus with friendly environment. Many patents have been filed by students of mechanical recently. For sure Chandigarh university is the best choice for you. For further information, please check this link:-

    If your orientation is for private university then I know one university which is renowned and one of the best university and that is LPU. Addressing your query, as you have already done Diploma, then you can directly enter in second year.
