It is indeed great to hear from you that you are interested in doing Bachelor of commerce graduation through distance mode of education and not Bachelor of engineering. It is very nice to have such clear-cut aim in life. For admission to any graduation course minimum qualification is invariably class 12th pass. Apparently, you have done your Diploma after class 10th and not class 12th. So, you will not have class 12th pass certificate with you. But, do not worry. These days almost all the states in India have declared Diploma as equivalent to 12th. You just need to approach the Polytechnic from where you have done your Diploma and seek such a certificate from the administration. Once you have this certificate, then you can proceed for your graduation. You will have to start from First year B.Com because lateral admission to second year is feasible only for graduation in engineering. Best wishes to you.
