Is doing B.Tech in electronics a good choice after completing diploma in mechanical engineering? If it is good in any way then please explain how is it good?

No, it is not best to pursue B.Tech Electronics after completion of your Diploma in Mechanical Engineering. You are not eligible to pursue B.Tech Electronics Engineering course after completion of your Diploma in Mechanical Engineering. Only candidates who have passed 12th standard with PCM stream or three years Diploma in Electronics Engineering course from a recognised institute are eligible to pursue B.Tech Electronics course. So, being a Diploma holder in Mechanical Engineering, you are not eligible to get admission for pursuing B.Tech Electronics course.

Yes, B.Tech electronics is good option to go for further studies after completing diploma course because after having bachelors of technology degree in electronics you can make your career in area like IT companies, Power stations, Educational institute, Power plant, Electricity board etc. Here below are details regarding B.Tech electronics degree course:-

• To apply for B.Tech electronics degree course minimum qualification required is 10+2 or equivalent qualification (That is diploma) from government recognized institute.
  
• After having diploma course you can apply for B.tech electronics through lateral entry.
  
• Duration of B.Tech electronics after diploma course is 3 years which are divided into 6 semesters.

No, B.Tech in Electronics is not at all a good option to be opted after doing diploma in Mechanical engineering because being a mechanical candidate you will possess the skills relating to mechanical background but not electronics background. Even colleges will not give admission into electronics department since you are from mechanical background.
So,i suggest you to choose mechanical engineering only for pursuing B.Tech.

Candidates after completion of diploma in mechanical engineering can pursue BE or BTech in the same discipline only. It is not possible to do BTech in Electronics after completion of diploma in mechanical engineering. Those candidates who have completed a three year diploma in ECE / EEE / CSC / Mechatronics are only eligible to pursue BTech in Electronics and Communication Engineering. Therefore, Diploma in Mechanical Engineering candidates can study BTech in Mechanical Engineering. Candidates are admitted directly to the second year of the four years BTech course through lateral entry admission.

I am sorry to say that you cannot opt B.Tech course in Electronics stream after the completion of Diploma course in Mechanical Engineering.
Candidates those who have completed their Diploma course in Mechanical Engineering from a recognized University scoring a minimum of 50% of marks in it can apply for the B.Tech or B.E degree course in Mechanical Engineering through lateral entry process.
