Dear Christina, Yes after the completion of course, you will get a valid degree certificate like anyone else which will make you eligible for job aspects if you want to join and start working or it will also help you as a regular certificate if you want to pursue your higher studies. Lateral entry is an option for those who have studied Diploma instead of 10+2. As both are valid and recognized Educational Qualifications, you needn't worry about the authenticity of your B.Sc degree certificate. Hope this helps!
