Is there any defence quota for diploma holder students getting admission in second year engineering colleges?

The All India Council for Technical Education (AICTE) does not reserve any defence quota for diploma holder students seeking admission to the second year of engineering colleges. Admission to engineering colleges is primarily based on merit and entrance examination scores, such as the Joint Entrance Examination (JEE) Main or state-level engineering entrance exams. Some states or institutions may have specific reservation policies for certain categories of students, including children of defence personnel, but these vary and are not mandated by AICTE. It's advisable to check with the specific engineering college or relevant authorities regarding any defence quota or reservation policies for diploma holder students in your region.
