Can Diploma Students Apply in Lateral Entry NFSU

Are you a diploma holder planning to apply for B.Tech lateral entry at NFSU (National Forensic Sciences University)? Before you apply, read this article carefully.

There is a lot of confusion and misinformation online—blogs, forums, and YouTube videos don’t give a clear answer. So, I decided to go one step further and filed an RTI (Right to Information) with NFSU to get an official response.

🛑 RTI Response from NFSU: Diploma Holders NOT Eligible for Lateral Entry B.Tech

After filing the RTI, the official reply from the NFSU CPIO was crystal clear:

❌ Diploma holders are NOT eligible for lateral entry admission into B.Tech programs at National Forensic Sciences University.

This means if you have completed a 3-year diploma after 10th, you cannot take admission directly into the 2nd year (lateral entry) at NFSU. You will have to apply for regular 1st-year admission if you still wish to study there.

❓ Why This Matters for Diploma Students

Every year, thousands of diploma students search for:

• “B.Tech lateral entry colleges for diploma holders”

• “Is lateral entry allowed in NFSU?”

• “NFSU BTech admission for diploma students”

Unfortunately, NFSU is not an option for diploma-to-B.Tech lateral entry in 2025, and possibly beyond—unless the policy changes.

✅ Best Alternatives: Colleges Accepting Lateral Entry for Diploma Holders

Don’t worry! Many top engineering colleges and universities across India offer direct second-year B.Tech admission through lateral entry. Here are some excellent options:

• Delhi Technological University (DTU)

• Netaji Subhas University of Technology (NSUT)

• Jamia Millia Islamia (JMI)

• Punjab Engineering College (PEC), Chandigarh

• Dr. A.P.J. Abdul Kalam Technical University (AKTU), UP

• MIT World Peace University (MIT-WPU), Pune

• Guru Gobind Singh Indraprastha University.

• SRM Institute of Science and Technology

• Lovely Professional University (LPU), Punjab

• And many State Technical Universities through LEET or other lateral entry exams.

Final Words

I hope this post clears up any confusion regarding NFSU lateral entry eligibility for diploma holders. I strongly recommend verifying eligibility criteria through official channels or RTI, especially when such information is not clearly mentioned in the admission guidelines.

If you found this helpful, consider sharing it with other diploma students so they don’t face the same confusion.
