It's a Question of your Career!

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!

Hello Pavan,

The cutoff for BCA (Bachelor of Computer Applications) admissions for state board students varies by college, location, and category. In general, many colleges require a minimum of 50% marks in Class 12 for eligibility. However, the actual cutoff percentage can be higher, depending on factors such as the number of applicants, seat availability, and the popularity of the course.

Key Points to Consider:

• Eligibility: Most colleges require candidates to have passed Class 12 with at least 50% marks. Some institutions may offer relaxation for reserved categories.

• Cutoff Percentages: In competitive institutions, the cutoff for BCA admissions can range from 60% to 70% or higher, depending on the demand and available seats.

• State-Specific Variations: Cutoffs can vary significantly between states and even between colleges within the same state. For example, colleges in metropolitan areas may have higher cutoffs due to increased competition.

Recommendations:

• Research Specific Colleges: Identify the colleges you're interested in and check their official websites for the most accurate and up-to-date cutoff information.

• Prepare for Entrance Exams: Some colleges may conduct entrance exams for BCA admissions. Preparing for these exams can enhance your chances of securing a seat.

• Consider Alternative Options: If your desired college has high cutoffs, explore other reputable institutions that may have more accessible admission requirements.

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.

If you completed your post-graduation in June 2024 and appeared for MHCET 3-year LLB exams in May 2025, you usually don’t need a gap certificate. This is because the gap between finishing your post-grad and starting the law course is less than a year, which is acceptable. But some colleges or universities may ask for it, so check their specific rules. If required, you can get a gap certificate from your last college or university easily.

To calculate your MHT CET PCM percentile, we need the highest marks scored and total candidates. But generally, scoring 73 marks out of 100 in PCM is good. Usually, this score can give you a percentile around 85 to 90, meaning you scored better than 85-90% of students. Percentile depends on how others performed too. For exact percentile, you can check the official MHT CET result website after results are announced. Keep preparing well for counseling!

Yes, your Scheduled Caste caste certificate from 2013 can be used for MHT CET 2025 if it is valid and from the proper authority in Maharashtra. But you also need a Caste Validity Certificate, which proves your caste is genuine. This certificate is very important for reserved category admissions. If your certificate is old, you may need to renew it before applying. Always check the college’s rules and keep all documents ready for admission.
