According to me, students who want to settle fast and go through civil services, a degree is better for them. Students who want to do private jobs, they must do software engineering.

According to me, engineering is better as I have seen in some colleges, students after 12th join Diploma which doesn't make any sense. After 10th, it's okay, but after 12th, it's like wasting a lump of years of their life.

Obviously, a degree is better than Diploma and study in India. The diploma has a very low precedence than a degree.

Both degree and Diploma are types of recognition conferred on a person on the successful completion of an educational course. However, there are a lot of differences between the two and they aren't interchangeable. Both have their own respective value. We can't compare them.

It actually depends if you want to work, or you have some financial problems, Diploma is preferred for getting a job easily.

According to me I think that the degree course is better to pursue because it gives you vast knowledge about the subject you are studying.
This is better keeping in view the placement also.
