Is three years diploma equivalent to Senior secondary examination? or do I need to do higher secondary separately? Can you please give me the right details? I need to apply for the UG course and I need the details soon. Thank you!

Yes definitely three year diploma degree is equivalent to senior secondary school degree and hence one can apply for any job or higher studies which accepts a degree equivalent to higher secondary school degree.

Meanwhile I would also like to let you know that equivalency to higher secondary school degree does not mean that you are eligible everywhere where higher secondary school degree is required as in the case of NDA entrance examination, DU UG merit based examination for which only higher secondary school degree holder are eligible not diploma degree holders. So before applying for any course you must check whether it accepts equivalent degree or not to check your eligibility for the same course.

In majority of courses and government job options, diploma is considered as equivalent to 10+2. You need not pursue higher secondary separately.

After diploma, you can apply for following entrance exams to get admission in bachelor's degree:

Lateral Entry Entrance Test: Minimum of 60% marks is required.

Joint entrance exam conducted by CBSE for admission in IITs.
