Yes, the scope for the polytechnic diploma holders is good in India. Candidates after completion of diploma can work in government and private companies. They can also study BE / BTech or AMIE after completion of a three year diploma. Candidates after completion of a three year diploma are admitted to the second year of the BE or BTech course through lateral entry mode. There are job opportunities for the diploma holders in Indian Railways, State Electricity Board/Department, BHEL, NTPC etc. The fees for the courses are nominal only. Those candidates who want to pursue their career in the engineering field can study polytechnic diploma course.

If you want to pursue career in Computer Science,then diploma will not be that good an option as for other engineering streams.
But if you opt for diploma in Civil, Mechanical, Electrical, Electronics preferably, there are more than plenty of opportunities on govt and private sectors. You can then go for B.Tech or can directly join in work and get promoted to higher posts. CS Diploma vacancies are very very low and the seats reserved for lateral entry exam from polytechnic to degree in CS are also low.
So, matter of fact,you need CS,go for degree. You need polytechnic,go for core streams.
