The Lateral Entry Entrance Test (LEET) is how a diploma holder in Odisha 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 Odisha, lateral entry into B.Tech is handled through the state's technical-education admission process (an entrance test and/or merit-based counselling). The exact exam name, dates and eligibility change year to year, so confirm the current official notification before applying.
Eligibility at a glance
Most Odisha aspirants qualify with a three-year engineering diploma and the minimum marks the state specifies. Reserved categories usually get a relaxation, and some states admit B.Sc (with Maths) candidates too. Read the full LEET eligibility guide.
