Dear candidate,

Yes, you can get direct admission in Diploma in Computer Science/Technology, but it depends on the college type.

Government/State polytechnic colleges

Usually require 10th pass or equivalent

Some states conduct lateral entry or entrance test, but direct admission is limited

Private colleges

Often allow direct admission based on 10th marks

May also have management quota / donation seats


  • Ensure the college is AICTE approved for the diploma
  • Direct admission is mostly for private colleges
  • Government seats are mostly merit-based or through state entrance

Hello, Naresh. Yes direct admission in diploma for computer science/tech is possible in many colleges or universities in india. Some require a particular merit score in your 10th or 12th grade mostly above 50% and others take students through direct admission process. There is no need for any entrance exam for doing diploma.

Hello,

Yes, you can often get direct admission to a Diploma in Computer Science/Tech, especially in private colleges or through management quota, but many government colleges use entrance exams or merit from 10th/12th. Also, you can get lateral entry for direct admission.

I hope it will clear your query!!
