Hello Nishant You can enter the industry after Diploma and can earn good salary after years of experience. I have seen many project managers who are simply Diploma holders but with experience they reach to higher designations and attain good salaries. You can sit in government competitive exams for Junior Engineers in almost every state of India and at national level. Though, On the other hand, some of the Gulf employers and other UAE companies specifically demand for Degree holders in their job advertisements. So, certainly, you will like to think about aspect of increasing your qualification later on in your life. But that would be your decision (based on your own circumstances later on in your life). All the best.

After completing Diploma in civil you can get into B.Sc. Architecture through lateral entry. This will give you professionally lot of advantages over Diploma. I can recommend one university that is quite popular for the programme, LPU. B.Arch is one of the niche programmes at LPU. The faculty of the department is a team of trained professionals who have studied at top universities of the country and have worked with industrial giants or are equipped with academic excellence. Everything about faculty is mentioned in the website. Its said Architects shape the future of the building environment, from buildings to neighborhoods to cities to regions and LPU shapes the architects. The course design is cutting edge. It deals with topics like comprehend design approach and inter-relationship of function, circulation, structure, material and construction, climatology, services, form, aesthetics he knowledge in built environment. Interpret the facet of architectural design and urban realm context through schematic drawings, project report, physical model and 3 D visualizations. Analyze and appraise through research, various aspects of anthropometry, building technology, materials, structural analysis and design, history, art, culture, humanities, landscape, assessment methods, architectural computation and management of resources. Evaluate legal and regulatory framework for application in planning and design of architectural and urban scale projects. The best part is exceptionally talented students can get scholarship by attempting LPU NEST upto 45 percent of the programme fee.

Dear Nishant, You can do a B.Tech in Civil Engineering after completing a Diploma in civil. Well, I can give you the answer to this question based on the feedback received from students who are known to me and are currently studying Civil Engineering at LPU. Besides, few colleagues of mine who have previously worked in the same Deptt. So, the following are the highlights of Civil engineering in LPU: - 1. Most of the faculty staff is from reputed organizations with their the highest degree from various reputed institutes such as IITs, NITs, etc. Apart from that, faculty have got previous industrial experience also. 2. The capstone project is an integral part of the B.Tech programme in which students have to pick a live project based on the practical problem-based scenario (ideally from industry) and work for six months under a mentor and present a report at the end. This is beneficial to enhance your presentation skills. 3. There is an internship programme that could be an opportunity for getting work experience and increase your chance to get employment after you pass out. But, of course, your academic record should be good to get this placement option. 4. Industrial visits are organized to nearby construction sites from time to time. There, you can SEE actual construction work going on. Be prepared to have dust on your shoes (believe me, it will be worth a lot). You have to ask questions yourself and trigger interest in the activities around you. 5. You will get some courses from soft skills, English language, mental and on analytical aptitude side. This sounds dull to you as of now. But you will feel its importance when you face an interview panel in a company during your placement drives. 6. They have very good placement records and good infrastructure companies visit their campus, L & T, Simplex Piles Ltd, Era Infrastructure, Gammon India Ltd to name a few. 7. Career-oriented Software training in project labs is given. To work in this profession, you are supposed to be familiar with software like MS-Project, STAAD Pro, MX Road, etc. Nonetheless, you will be trained in Auto CAD in your second year which is a prerequisite for any Civil Engineer. 8. Every theory course is complemented with relevant lab-based practical work. Some of the labs are based on field testing where experimental work is to be done, e. g. Soil Lab & Surveying Lab. For more details, you may refer to the LPU website, I hope this helps Thank You!

Also, your confidence will be very high as compared to other students who join degree after 10+2. Your knowledge and understanding about core subjects will be much higher as compared to other students. -Your employment chances will be very prosperous If you complete both Diploma as well as degree in engineering. The employers will definitely give you priority owing to the fact that your fundamental knowledge will be very strong.
