Hello Khyati Mishra,

Diploma is a certificate awarded by an educational establishment to show that someone has successfully completed a course of study.

1. The tenure of the degree course is generally 3-4 years, whereas the tenure of the diploma course is typically 1-2 years

2. Degree is usually given by a recognized university, whereas a diploma is awarded by a private educational/institution

3. A degree is available for almost all the subjects across the globe. On the other hand, a diploma is available for certain and not so highly paid professions

4. The focus of a degree is to make the student good in the majoring subject and to give overall knowledge. For example, if you want a degree in MBA (marketing), the school will also teach other disciplines such as finance, product management, accounting, and strategy. On the other hand, diploma focuses on getting a person educated in a particular field/business.

Thanku.
