Diploma holders can appear for both JEE Mains and JEE Advanced. JEE Mains is considered the entrance examination for all State Government run Engineering Colleges, Private Colleges, NITs, IIITs and CFTIs. And JEE Advanced is the entrance exam for admission to IITs.
Now, as a Diploma Candidate, you cannot use yoyr JEE Mains score for NITs, IIITs and CFTIs. That leaves you State Govt run Engineering Colleges and Private Colleges. You can use your JEE Mains score for the rest State Government and Private Medical Colleges.
To appear in JEE Advanced, a diploma holder can apply in JEE Main 2020. But their rank & score in JEE Main will not be considered for admission in NITs & CFTIs. This means with your Diploma degree, you can appear for JEE Advanced and take admission in IITs.

Hello,
Yes, candidates who have completed their diploma in engineering are also eligible to appear in JEE main and JEE Advanced.Candidates must have studied Mathematics, Physics and Chemistry as compulsory subjects in qualifying exam.You can only get admission in IITs but not in NITs and IITs.
