This can be a tricky decision, whether to pursue a Diploma or a degree in engineering as each of them has their own relevance. A Diploma save your time as it is for the duration of 2 years in case of full-time and 3 years in case of part-time course and after the completion of your Diploma you are required to complete two years of in-service training before you are fully qualified in your field. Whereas a proper degree in engineering would require a long duration of 4-5 years but at the same time would provide a better and in-depth knowledge and understanding of the subject. Engineering is a tough subject as it carries a wide variety of subject and requires more of a practical component as compared to other degrees, which of course is time talking. In India, a degree is always given more preference over any other certification. An engineering doesn't necessarily mean that you are going to work in the engineering field only, it opens up doors to a wide range of interesting careers. So, in my opinion, one should go for a proper degree. There are a bunch of private and government colleges in India from where you can pursue an engineering degree. I would suggest you go visit the website of the Thapar Institute of Engineering & Technology as it is one private institution that is really doing well in the education sector especially in engineering. But please make your decision a concrete one after doing a good research, as you'll be investing your time pursuing a degree for a long duration of 4-5 years and time is money as you all know. All the best!
