The Lateral Entry Entrance Test (LEET) is how a diploma holder in Jharkhand turns a diploma into an engineering degree — joining a B.Tech / B.E. degree directly in the second year instead of starting over in the first.
In Jharkhand, lateral-entry admission is typically handled through the Jharkhand Combined Entrance Competitive Examination Board (JCECEB) (commonly referred to as lateral entry counselling). Exact names, dates and rules change every year, so always confirm the current official notification before you apply.
