Securing a job after completing a B.Tech degree from open universities can depend on a lot of things. If it is only based on the degree it could be difficult. 

If you want to go for MNCs you have to start by joining smaller organizations and start-ups. Here you can have the chance of getting hired based on your knowledge and skills. Try to improve your writing skills, communication skills, aptitude skills, etc.

Practice mock interviews, get familiar with all the current trends and topics. Prepare for questions like “Where do you see yourself in 5 years?” etc.

Improve your domain knowledge, practical knowledge, keep yourself updated and familiar with the recent trends in interviews. Learn from your peers and how they approach the interviews. More practice will increase your chances of getting a job.

No, it’s not possible to take lateral admission in a BA degree after completing a Civil Engineering diploma, in IDOL, YCMOU, or IGNOU. These two degrees are fundamentally different. You can get admission to BA after completing the course. But direct entry to second year isn’t possible. 

IGNOU offers direct admission to some of its degree programs. For example, if you have done your BCA from IGNOU, you can join their 2 year MCA program through lateral admission. So, IGNOU lateral entry has fixed eligibility criteria. You won’t be eligible for direct admission to second year in IGNOU MCA if you completed your BCA from any other university.
