If you take a diploma after 10th and then do B.Tech through lateral entry, a 2-year gap won’t create big problems in placements. Many students follow this path successfully. What matters most is your skills, knowledge, and attitude during college. Work hard, learn well, and do internships to improve your chances. Just stay confident and focused. Employers care more about what you can do than small gaps in education.

If you did not write the POLYCET exam, it is not possible to get admission in government diploma colleges. But don’t worry — you can still join some private diploma colleges without POLYCET. Many private colleges give admission through management quota. Visit nearby private colleges, ask about direct admission, and choose a good course like D-Pharmacy, Agriculture, or Veterinary if you are from the MBiPC stream. Also, think about repeating POLYCET next year if you want a better option.

After completing 10th, I wrote the POLYCET exam and got a rank of 3171 in the MBIPC stream. I am happy with my rank because it gives me a good chance to get admission in a diploma course. Now, I am excited to start my diploma studies and learn new skills in my chosen field. This diploma will help me build a strong foundation for my future career and open up better opportunities for higher education and jobs.

Yes, you can join a Diploma in Cardiology after 12th (Science stream). This course is usually 2–3 years long and helps you become a cardiac technician. Colleges like RUHS in Jaipur, Parul University in Vadodara, and SCOPE College in Mumbai offer this course. After completing the diploma, you can work in hospitals, clinics, or diagnostic centers. It’s a good option if you are interested in working in the heart care field and helping patients.

Hello,

A non-attending diploma in Mechanical Engineering (also known as part-time, distance, or correspondence diploma) is designed for working professionals or ITI graduates who wish to continue their education without attending regular full-time classes. After completing ITI in a relevant trade (such as Fitter, Turner, or Machinist), you are eligible for lateral entry into the second year of the diploma course through part-time mode, usually offered by state technical education boards or institutions like IGNOU, NIOS, or recognized polytechnics.

The fee structure for such programs is relatively affordable, usually ranging from Rs 8,000 to Rs 25,000 per year, depending on the college and state. Government polytechnics charge lower fees, while private institutes may have slightly higher costs. In total, students can expect to spend around Rs 20,000 to Rs 60,000 for the entire course.

Hope this helps. All the best!
