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!

Hello,

No, this will not be considered a gap year.

Since you graduated from Delhi University in 2024 and simultaneously enrolled in a one-year online diploma course with IGNOU (June 2024 – July 2025), you were engaged in academic learning during that period. Even though the course is online, it is recognized by a central university (IGNOU), and this counts as an educational activity—not a break in your academic timeline.

So, when you apply for PG in MA English from DU, this period will be seen as a continuous academic engagement, not a gap year. Just be sure to mention your IGNOU diploma enrollment in your application or CV, if required.

Hope this helps. All the best!

As a graduate, you can do many diploma courses to improve your skills and get better job chances. Some popular ones are Diploma in Digital Marketing, Graphic Designing, Data Science, Cybersecurity, Web Development, and Software Testing. You can also try diplomas in HR Management, Finance, or Foreign Languages. These courses are usually short (6 months to 1 year) and help you learn new skills quickly. They make your resume stronger and increase your chances of getting a good job or promotion.
