A Diploma in Engineering is a 3-year technical program designed to provide foundational knowledge and practical skills in various fields of engineering such as Civil, Mechanical, Electrical, Computer, and Electronics. It is offered by polytechnic institutes and is typically pursued after Class 10 or 12.

The diploma focuses more on practical training, making students industry-ready for junior engineer roles or to continue higher studies like B.Tech through lateral entry.

Eligibility

• Must have passed Class 10 from a recognized board with Science and Mathematics.

• Some institutes allow admission after Class 12 (Science) as well.

• Minimum 50% marks (may vary by institute and state).
