With technology being the economy’s force and influencing industries across domains, there is an exponential need for skilled professionals at different levels to power enterprises involved in design, production and manufacturing of various goods. The larger an organisation grows, the better equipped it is to leverage from its size and scale which in turn demands technical professionals with various levels of proficiency and skills – from operators to technicians to engineers. This translates to a demand for professionals with varied levels of skills - 1 year certification from recognised training centres who could work as machine operators – lathes, cutting, turning and grinding equipment for example; 3 year diploma holders or 4 year engineering degree holders. All of them have critical roles in powering the engineering ecosystem that empowers our economy and community.
A diploma in engineering has been one of the most popular, sought after courses for decades in India and elsewhere. A diploma is designed to equip students with a basic knowledge of engineering, scientific skills, computing, mathematical techniques and a good amount of understanding of the device or machinery they are to operate.
The aim is to produce professionals at an undergraduate level to function as operators, technicians, service professionals, maintenance staff, or at a similar level. A large section of these would be required considering that enterprises across domains are involved in large scale production.
At an individual level, a diploma offers the student a couple of distinct advantages. An engineering degree generally requires 4 years of full-time study and is a little more expensive in terms of course fees and other expenses. Also, the engineering program needs the student to study for 12 years in school before he/ she qualifies for admission for the 4 year degree. On the other hand, a student can enrol for a diploma program right after the school leaving certificate, which means the student can get into the job market in 3 years. Also, there are more job opportunities available for diploma holders and this gives them an opportunity to earn and gain valuable work experience. Bengaluru has several reputed institutions that offer courses in Diploma in Engineering in various streams.
Dayananda Sagar Institute of Technology (DSIT) is among the most prominent institutions in this space offering 3 year Diploma in Engineering programs in different streams.
