A diploma course is usually short, like 1 to 2 years, and focuses on practical, job-ready skills in paramedical stuff like Medical Lab Tech, Operation Theatre Tech, or Radiology.
Degree courses like BSc Physio or BSc Radiology are longer, 3 to 4 years, and go deeper into both theory and practical work.
Diploma holders can grab entry-level jobs, but degree grads usually get better career options, higher pay, and can go for postgrad studies or specialisations. Overall, degree courses give more long-term growth than diplomas.
