Can I pursue 1-year engineering Diploma after doing 12th?

Hello Veman, After HSC, many states allow admission into 2nd year of three year Diploma course. After Diploma, one can GET admission in 2nd year of four years degree course. So it is 12+2+3=17 years. If degree after 12th, then 12+4=16 years. Thus one looses only one year.
