Hii,

If you’re taken commerce in your class 12 and want to pursue a diploma in civil engineering, that’s definitely possible especially if you're passionate about building and designing structures. Many polytechnic colleges offer 3-year diploma courses in civil engineering that are open to students who’ve completed their 10th standard, but some institutes also allow 12th-pass students from other streams like commerce based on entrance tests or direct admission.

After your diploma, you can either start working as a junior engineer or site supervisor, or go for a lateral entry into a B.Tech/B.E. program in civil engineering. That means you’ll directly enter the second year of the degree course.

Thank you!
