Parents, Peer pressure… What to do next? Which course to choose? What will my friends choose? Will I be able to meet my parent’s expectation? Is this my interest area? Will this college give a good campus opportunity or placement?
So many questions… No idea opting for a counselor.
No!!! This is not only the way, research & asks yourself.
Nowadays most of the people or students are opting for Diploma courses directly completing their studies at the school level. We can say diploma course help you to understand the professional courses in an easy manner. It can be considered as an alternative to a bachelor degree, it is a specified training program.
There are various streams in technical diploma program like diploma mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, civil engineering, chemical engineering, electronics and communication engineering, computer science engineering & IT. It can be said it provides equivalent training as on the job training.
Students who want to pursue engineering or have a plan to pursue engineering, now days don’t opt for 12th science or any other high school degree rather go for a 3 years diploma course get all possible skill –oriented and practical training and gets lateral entry to B.tech or B.E courses. Instead of 4 years, they finish the total course within 3 years of time span. But there are certain students who opt for a job directly after completing their diploma course.
With the increasing competition, students nowadays are also getting more competitive, unfortunately, there are certain students who are not able to get good scores in 10th/12th standard or not able to crack the competitive exams ( national/ state/ zonal level) they prefer to get into a diploma course.
There is plenty number of colleges who are offering diploma courses after 10th & 12th standard. But we believe whatever education your child/children get must be the best one.
Diploma courses are provided by both Government & private institutes.
The lists of diploma courses after 10th/ 12th are as follows:
- Diploma in Civil Engineering
