Diploma in Engineering after Class 10
Amit Yadav
A diploma course in engineering involves classes on fundamental engineering concepts. It is a professional course, planned in such a way that students may still take up jobs in the field of engineering once they earn their diplomas. Some students are not able to get admission for Bachelor of Engineering (B.E.) or Bachelor of Technology (B.Tech.) programmes, which is why they enrol themselves in a Diploma of Engineering course, because it can allow them to transfer into the second year of the B.Tech. or B.E. course. This approach is also referred to as the ‘backdoor to engineering degree’ approach. This, in effect, means the student may not have to take the eleventh and twelfth class exams. So, instead of the last two years of school and four years of the degree engineering course (a total of six years), the same qualification is achieved in the same amount of time with three years of a diploma course and three years of the degree course after the direct transfer. Engineering entrance exams like JEE Main (previously AIEEE), JEE Advanced (previously IIT-JEE), and individual state and college Common Entrance Tests can be bypassed and avoided.
Diploma programme pattern
Diploma courses can be of a yearly or semester pattern. Most yearly pattern courses have a duration of three years. The diploma programmes that follow a semester pattern have a planned duration of four years, with three years of study and one year for an industrial internship. Engineering diploma courses can be divided into two types depending upon the basic entrance qualification required. In the post-Senior Secondary Certificate (SSC) diploma course, students with a basic SSC qualification can be accepted into the course. In the post-Higher Secondary Certificate (HSC) diploma course, the minimum qualification for entrance is an HSC pass certificate. A postgraduate diploma can be opted for after attaining the diploma degree, if not a B.E., B.Tech. or a job.
Eligibility
The minimum qualification required for admission into a diploma course is passing of the Secondary School Leaving Certificate (SSLC)/tenth standard/equivalent examination, with at least 35 percent in science and maths subjects.The state boards of technical education of most of the states in India conduct entrance tests for admission to the diploma programmes offered by various polytechnics in the state.
Â
A student who has attained the diploma is usually eligible to enter B.Tech./B.E. programmes in the second year under a lateral entry scheme. This fast-track admission is possible only after writing the LET, the Lateral Entry Test. If you do well on this test, you can apply to B.Tech./B.E. programmes.
The course content of the diploma programme and of the B.Tech./B.E. programme is very similar, but the level of syllabus content is higher in the latter. However, diploma students may have an advantage, since they are likely to already have solid knowledge of the fundamentals of the course over regular B.Tech./B.E. students who directly enter after their twelfth grade.
The Diploma Institute of Electronics and Telecommunication Engineers (DIPIETE) is a diploma-level examination offered by the Institution of Electronics and Telecommunication Engineers (IETE) and is conducted twice a year (June and December) in various centers around India. Students should have passed their SSLC/tenth standard/equivalent examination with science subjects.
