For decades, a Diploma in Engineering was one of the most sought after and available courses for those interested in a career and education in engineering. As a growing economy, India started off with a large number of public sector enterprises like ITI, HAL, BEL, BHEL, BEML etc. This apart, private enterprise was thriving too with companies like Kirloskar Motors, MEI etc. These enterprises needed a large number of technicians to operate and maintain machinery, assemble machinery parts, and execute similar tasks with skills in operating lathes, cutting, turning and grinding equipment. This led to a huge demand for diploma courses and they were placed in leading companies across domains.
A diploma equips students with a basic knowledge of engineering, scientific skills, functioning of machinery, measurements and a good amount of understanding of the device or machinery they operate. They will also have a functional understanding of the machine or device and how to service the same to ensure trouble-free operation.
In any manufacturing or assembly setup, a large number of diploma engineers are required considering that most enterprises are aiming to achieve economies of scale through large scale manufacturing.
A diploma offers several advantages. An engineering degree is a 4-year program demanding full-time study and is also expensive in terms of course fees and other expenses. The engineering program requires that the student should have completed 12 years in school before he/ she qualifies for admission to the degree program. A student can enrol for a diploma program right after the school leaving certificate and considering that it is a 3-year program, the student is equipped to get into the job market in 3 years. One big advantage is that there are more job opportunities for diploma holders across industries with good career prospects. They also have the opportunity of getting into the job market early to gain rich work experience. For decades, Karnataka has been a leader in offering quality engineering education and several reputed institutions in Bengaluru offer Diploma programs in various streams.
Dayananda Sagar Institute of Technology (DSIT) is among Karnataka’s most prominent names in diploma education and offers a 3 year Diploma in Engineering in different streams.
