Overview
What is Diploma?
A Polytechnic Diploma is a hands-on engineering programme that you can begin straight after Class 10. It focuses on practical, job-ready skills in fields like mechanical, civil, electrical, and computer engineering.
After the diploma you can take up technician and junior engineer jobs, or use lateral entry to join B.Tech directly in the second year.
