Eligibility

Diploma in Engineering at SRK University is designed for students who want to enter the workforce faster, or start engineering study directly after Class 10 rather than waiting for Class 12. Offered in Civil and Mechanical Engineering since 2014, the programme runs under the same Faculty of Engineering as SRK’s B.Tech and M.Tech courses, giving diploma students access to shared labs, workshops, and faculty.

Bhopal’s infrastructure and manufacturing base offers diploma holders entry-level roles as site supervisors, junior draughtsmen, and production assistants without needing a full degree first. For students who later want to upgrade, SRK’s Diploma in Engineering is a direct feeder into B.Tech through lateral entry — graduates join the second year of the corresponding B.Tech branch, saving a full year of study.
