6.1 ADMISSION OF DIPLOMA HOLDERS INTO SECOND YEAR DEGREE ENGINEERING PROGRAMES THROUGH LATERAL ENTRY
6.1. (a) Admission of Diploma Holders
Although engineering diploma programmes are conceived as terminal in nature, some flexibility has to be built in to enable the meritorious amongst diploma holders to obtain Engineering degrees. There is evidence of diploma holders pursing an Engineering programme having performed well not only in their academic careers but also in their jobs.
6.1 (b) Eligibility
For being eligible to seek lateral entry to an Engineering degree programme at the second year/ third semester level, a candidate must have passed the diploma in Engineering in the relevant branch with a minimum of 60 percent in the aggregate. Only candidates fulfilling these conditions would be eligible for appearing in the entrance test meant for selection of diploma holders for Lateral entry to degree programmes. The selection of candidates will be based on an entrance test, the merit ranking in the test being the basis of admission.
At present students obtain diploma through different programmes in different States/UTs. Such programmes have different structures and forms like the semester pattern, annual pattern, sandwich pattern, etc. In order to maintain uniformity, a common entrance examination seems essential. Further, it is necessary to select only meritorious students who have passed the diploma with good academic record.
A student who has acquired a diploma in Engineering through a minimum of three years of institutional study, after 10+(Secondary School Leaving Certificate Examination) can be considered to be academically equivalent to a student who has passed the first year of the four year Engineering degree programme for which the qualifying examination is of the 12+ level.
The
6.2(a) Admission of B. Sc,. Graduates
Science education in the country is suffered primarily due to lack of employment opportunities after completion of degree courses. This trend is affected the science education in the country and only a few students are opting to go for the science stream. In order to provide science students avenues for proper employment opportunities after completing graduation, Science graduates may be permitted to join Engineering courses at second year along with the diploma holders through lateral entry.
6.2 (b) Eligibility:
For being eligible to seek lateral entry to an Engineering degree programme at the second year/ third semester level, a candidate must have passed the Degree in Science (B.Sc.,), with Mathematics as a subject and with a minimum of 60 percent marks in the aggregate. Only candidates fulfilling these conditions would be eligible for appearing in the entrance test meant for selection of B.Sc., graduates for Lateral entry to an Engineering degree programme. The selection of candidates will be based on an entrance test, the merit ranking in the test being the basis of admission.
The affiliating University may exempt B.Sc., degree holders form Science courses and other relevant courses at the second year level and prescribe compensatory courses to makeup deficiencies.
(7) Extent of Lateral Entry
Diploma holders and B.Sc Degree holders shall be eligible for admission to second year Engineering degree programmes up to a maximum of 10% of sanctioned intake, which will be over and above the approved intake (supernumerary). In addition, these candidates shall be eligible for admission in the second year against the vacant seats at first year level. The concerned Admission Authority shall decide the ratio between the diploma holders and B.Sc graduates for admission.
(8) Interpretation
If any question arises as to the interpretation of these Regulations, the same shall be decided by the Council.
The Council shall have the power to issue clarification to remove any doubt which may arise in regard to implementation of these Regulations.
(9) Power to relax
The Council may, in exceptional cases, for removal of any hardship or such other reasons to be recorded in writing, relax any of the provisions of these Regulations.
