Diploma in Mechanical Engineering is a 3-year technical program that imparts knowledge in the areas of mechanics, kinematics, thermodynamics, materials science, manufacturing technology, and CAD/CAM. The course provides both theoretical understanding and practical skills needed for a wide range of mechanical systems and industrial processes.

The curriculum is designed to develop competent professionals who can work in diverse sectors such as automotive, aerospace, power plants, robotics, and heavy machinery. Students are trained in workshops, mechanical labs, and simulation tools to build real-world skills and prepare for employment or further education like B.Tech through lateral entry.

Eligibility Criteria

• Passed 10th standard (SSC) from a recognized board.
• A minimum of 35%-50% marks in Science and Mathematics is required (may vary by institution).
• Candidates with ITI or 12th (Vocational/Technical) qualifications may seek lateral entry into the 2nd year.
• No upper age limit in most institutions.
• Should meet basic physical and medical fitness standards.

A Diploma in Mechanical Engineering opens doors to employment in core mechanical and allied industries. Key roles include:

• Mechanical Technician
• Maintenance Engineer
• Design Assistant (AutoCAD/CAD)
• Quality Control Inspector
• Production Supervisor
• Tool & Die Maker
• CNC Operator/Programmer
• Junior Engineer in PSUs
• Technical Assistant in R&D units
• Field Service Engineer

Mechanical diploma holders are highly sought after in industries such as automotive, power generation, railways, manufacturing, HVAC, construction, robotics, and more. There are also opportunities to pursue higher education like B.Tech or AMIE to grow into design, R&D, and managerial roles.
