The growth of the Indian economy has been powered by several sectors - Banking & Finance, IT, Infrastructure, Automotive, Telecom, Manufacturing and others. In today’s competitive world, young professionals have to get a grip on skills demanded by the marketplace to pursue successful careers or become self-employed in their chosen disciplines.
These sectors also need a large pool of talented individuals - engineers, managers, finance professionals and more. On the input side the number of education institutions being set up to offer degree and diploma programs too is increasing, with several thousand colleges offering degree and diploma programs in a range of streams. With technology driving all these segments, the demand for engineers and diploma holders is growing rapidly considering the large manufacturing and nationwide installations and facilities, integral to all verticals.
Coming to talent, diploma holders are an essential part of this skill pool. A diploma is a short-term course that students can take up after they successfully clear their high school / Xth standard. A diploma in engineering is a 3 year, full time program that enables students enter the job market quicker, while giving them ample opportunities to further educate themselves in case they wish to.
An engineering diploma is offered by several leading education institutions across India. According to an ET report, approx. 8 lakh diploma holders enter the Indian job market annually. The key question however is employability which depends on the training imparted to students during the course of their program. A report from Aspiring Minds says around 20% of all diploma holders from across India are employable and this brings focus on the quality of education.
To get a good placement and get ahead in their career, students need to choose the right institution. In fact, the value of any degree/ diploma program is majorly dependent on the reputation of the institution, at least in the early career years. This is due to the fact that few institutions are established over a period of time, have excellent faculty, good infrastructure and facilities, including quality equipment, all of which are important to impart quality education.
In Bangalore, recognised diploma programs are offered by well-established institutions such as Dayananda Sagar Institute of Technology (DSIT), which offers engineering diploma programs in various streams:
As for job opportunities, successful students are employed in several government/ public sector companies such as BHEL, BEL, Coal India, HPCL, EIL, BPCL, Mazagon Dock, MECON, NACL, NLC, NMDC, SAIL, NTPC, IOCL and ONGC.
This apart, diploma holders are offered employment in the state public works departments (PWD), state power corporations, municipalities and city corporations.
Candidates holding a diploma in engineering from a reputed institution such as DSIT have several promising careers. They can grow within their organisations and also have the option of pursuing further education to earn an engineering degree. Several leading engineering colleges have a separate quota for diploma holders and are also given exemption in certain subjects which means they can complete their engineering degree in less time.
So summing up, a diploma in engineering is an excellent career option for students post their school leaving certificate/ equivalent qualification. DSIT is the right institution to help them realise their dreams, equipped with modern infrastructure and dedicated faculty to provide them with an excellent foundation and career path.
