FAQs

  1. Is a Diploma in Mechanical Engineering a good course?
    This is one of the most reputable and oldest engineering departments in the country. It is the best department for students interested in a career in engineering. In both private and public organisations, Diploma in Mechanical Engineering graduates receive high salaries.
     
  2. What is better, doing a Diploma in Engineering after the 10th or B.Tech/B.E after the 12th?
    Both of the mediums are good but the Diploma holders have benefits. Because most of the Subjects of the B.Tech or B.E are covered in the Diploma course so it would be like a revision of the course thus we can say they have a better base for the course. Another benefit Diploma holders have is that they would have a job after the course and can pursue further higher study as part-time or distance learning.
     
  3. What are the top specialisations of Mechanical Engineering?
    The top specialisations in Mechanical Engineering are Biomechanical Engineering, Controls, Design, Energy Science and Technology, Manufacturing, micro-Electromechanical System, and NanoEngineering.
     
  4. How many subjects are there in the Mechanical Engineering Diploma?
    The Mechanical Diploma is divided into 6 semesters with 6 to 8 subjects in each semester, depending on the university.
     
  5. What is the scope of a Diploma in Mechanical Engineering?
    The scope of Mechanical Engineering in India is vast, with opportunities available in various sectors like Automobile, Aerospace, Energy, Construction, and many more.
