Lateral Entry Admission
ITI holders or students who have completed vocational training in relevant fields can gain admission into the 2nd or 3rd year of diploma programs.

Yes, a Polytechnic Diploma through Distance Learning is 100% valid — but only if it is completed from a UGC-DEB (University Grants Commission – Distance Education Bureau) approved university or institution.
In India, distance diplomas and online degrees are legally recognized by:
UGC-DEB (University Grants Commission – Distance Education Bureau)
AICTE (All India Council for Technical Education) – especially for technical and engineering diplomas
AIU (Association of Indian Universities) – for degree equivalence
These approvals ensure your diploma holds value for:
Government job eligibility
Private sector employment
Promotions in PSU and corporate jobs
Lateral entry into engineering (B.Tech/B.E.) programs
Higher education like AMIE or professional certifications
Note: It is important to beware of fake institutes or unapproved distance programs. Always verify the recognition status of the university before enrollment.
Upgyan works only with UGC-DEB approved universities to ensure your online civil engineering degree, online mechanical engineering degree, or polytechnic diploma course is not just convenient but also completely valid and career-oriented.
