Your career after Distance Diploma in Engineering

Just like regular diploma programmes in engineering, distance diploma programme too have duration of three years, to be completed in a maximum of six years. The distance learning programmes are usually meant for working professionals and workers in manufacturing industries to enable them to upgrade their skills and knowledge. Thus, they usually have no minimum or maximum age bars.

The specialisations under diploma engineering programmes in distance mode are:

• Aeronautical/Aerospace Engineering
• Agricultural Engineering
• Automobile Engineering
• Bio-Technology
• Chemical Engineering
• Civil Engineering
• Computer Science Engineering
• Electrical Engineering
• Electronics & Communications Engineering
• Industrial Engineering
• Information Technology (IT)
• Marine Engineering
• Mechanical Engineering
• Metallurgical Engineering
• Mining Engineering
• Nanotechnology
• Textile Engineering

Eligibility:

Usually, open universities or institutions that offer distance diploma in engineering programmes accept working professionals in a related stream. The candidates should:

• Have passed 10th with at least 55% marks,
• Have completed a certificate programme from any of the ITIs or polytechnics or vocational courses in related streams from a recognised institution,
• Or have done 12th with Physics, Chemistry and Math as their subjects.

Career Prospects:

The distance diploma in engineering programmes makes quality education more accessible to manufacturing or production workers and meets the needs of a wide spectrum of industries. They enhance their skills and open up opportunities for career advancements for them.

Equivalent to diploma programmes offered by polytechnics, the distance diploma engineering programmes offer need-based and tailor-made programmes too, to meet the specific needs of manpower in different industries.
