Hello Rukmini, I think you can. This is so because many states including Karnataka have given Diploma the equivalent of 12th and for joining any graduation course like B.A. Twelfth is a must. The institute from which you have completed your Diploma will be in a position to guide you about obtaining this equivalence Certificate. Once you have it with you then you can go for any degree for which eligibility is passing of 12th. Alternatively you can download the brochure of k s o u and SEE if they accept Diploma in lieu of 12th. Best wishes to you.
