1. B.Tech Lateral Entry Scheme
2. AIME Certification
Another option for Diploma holders from engineering background is to take up the AIME Certification Course. A.M.I.E (Associate Member of the Institutions of Engineers) certification is a professional certification equivalent to B.E. Degree. The candidates who complete the AIME course are awarded AIME certificate by the Institute of Engineering, India. The AIME exam consists of two sections and it takes around 4 years to complete the programme. However, Polytechnic Diploma holders do not need to appear for a few papers from Section A, i.e., Project Work. Therefore, they can earn the AIME certification in mere 3 years. You can find more details about this option on the official website i.e. www.ieindia.org.
3. Graduation in Study Domain
Apart from B.Tech and B.E. programmes, Polytechnic Diploma holders also have the option to pursue graduation in their respective study domain by joining a three-year regular under-graduate course. This option is especially viable for Diploma holders from non-engineering schemes who can pursue three-year regular graduation programmes such as B.Sc, B.A., BCA, and B.Com. However, candidates must have completed their Class 12 Board Exam or +2 certificates to be eligible for admission to these courses.
