Why Diploma in Engineering?
Due to high course fees, some students are unable to enroll themselves in Bachelor of Engineering or Bachelor of technology. So the students enroll themselves in a diploma in engineering course in order to get direct admission into the 2nd year of B.tech and B.E programme by a lateral scheme. Diploma in engineering acts as a back door entry into the B.tech/B.E reducing the overall fee for students taking up a diploma course.

Patterns of Diploma Programmes
The study of diploma in engineering courses can be in a yearly or a semester pattern depending on the institution. Majority of the yearly pattern diploma in engineering courses have a duration of three years. Whereas, the institution which follows the semester pattern provides the courses in four years. These four years are combined by three years of study and one year for an industrial internship. These courses can be classified into two types depending on the entrance exam qualification required, first is the post-senior secondary certificate and the second one as post-higher secondary certificate. Students after class 10th can pursue the post-senior secondary certificate courses offered by the institutes. Students after 10+2 can pursue the higher-senior secondary certificate courses offered by the institutes.
