The Jharkhand Combined Entrance Competitive Examination Board (JCECEB) has officially begun the choice filling and registration process for Lateral Entry admissions into engineering programs for the academic session 2025-26.
This is a crucial phase in the admission process for diploma holders and B.Sc. graduates aspiring to secure direct entry into the second year of B.E./B.Tech courses offered by government and private engineering colleges across Jharkhand. Candidates who have qualified in the entrance examination can now register and submit their preferred college and course choices online at jceceb.org.in. The process, part of the JCECE Lateral Entry counselling, aims to ensure a transparent, merit-based allocation of seats.
Aspirants are advised to check all eligibility criteria and instructions carefully before submitting their choices.
