After completing diploma in mechanical engineering in 84 percentage, what's next course having value to study my higher studies? I Want to join college in tamilnadu

Here is my opinion on this topic:

I suggest you to continue education by either choosing the option of engineering degree, B Tech or any other post diploma courses. Engineering sector is all about personal growth, knowledge and experience. The more experienced and educated you are in your field, the more bright chances will be waiting for you in future. Don’t think of doing a job at this stage. Your educational qualification is not as good as it needs to be for a dream job at this stage.

As far as courses are concerned, you may choose any courses of your interest for engineering degree or B Tech. After getting degree in mechanical engineering you will have many options for jobs.

It is quite confusing for you regarding , what to do after mechanical engineering diploma.
Here is list of job oriented courses:

Catia
Ansys
CNC Training
CAD Training
CAM Training
Auto CAD
RADIOSS Training
ADCNC
PRO/E

After completing diploma with 84%, you can directly get admission in 2nd year of Bachelor course in any engineering college.

Many prominent engineering colleges have established in Tamilnadu, you can get admission to these colleges by giving Lateral Entry Exam.

There are about 552 engineering colleges in Tamilnadu.

Among these colleges, top colleges are listed below:

• IIT Madras
• VIT University, Vellore

It is good that you have scored 84% of marks in your Diploma in Mechanical Engineering which reveals that you are good at academics.Having completed Diploma in Mechanical Engineering, there will be 2 major options for you to choose
-Going for Jobs
-Going for Higher studies.

If you want to do job, you can try for job opportunities in Engineering companies or companies based Mechanics. You will be given junior level posts and you need to compromise on your salary as less salary will be given to junior level posts. Promotions will take time and salary increments will also not be good until and unless you switch to a new company.

I suggest you to go for Higher studies. Better to opt for Engineering (BE / B.Tech) course with any of the following streams
-Mechanical Engineering
-Metallurgy
-Mechatronics.

As you have already completed diploma course, directly you will be given admission to 2nd year of Engineering course through Lateral Entry program.

Mechanical Engineering is a ever green course and there will be plenty of job opportunities for the candidates.

You can also get into public sector companies like BHEL,NTPC and ISRO etc. after completion of Mechanical Engineering.

If you are not interested in Mechanical Engineering, then you can opt for other Engineering streams like Computer Science Engineering or Information Technology etc.

It is good That you are interested to do the higher studies. Basically students go for the BE/B.tech course after completing the diploma in engineering.

There is one scheme known as later entry scheme. By this you can get the admission directly in the second year of engineering.

After Diploma in Mechanical Engineering I think you try a job and the career options after diploma in engineering is mainly for junior level posts.

Valuable higher studies after Diploma in Mechanical engineering

-> You can do B.E or B.Tech in Mechanical, Metallurgy.

-> You can also do AMIE.

The best and the most suitable course after diploma in mechanical engineering is the bachelor's degree in engineering for the best career and job opportunities.
