You are elligible for IIT JEE. For 3 years diploma holders, the syllabus of IIT JEE entrance exam is differ from those who are passed 12 with science stream. You can see syllabus on IIT JEE website.

Am i eligible for IITJEE... I have done 3 years diploma in plastic technology just after my 10th..

First you need to decide whether you want normal admission or the lateral entry admission.

The diploma holders are eligible for the lateral entry admission. What this means is that after completing diploma, you can get admission in the second year of Bachelor of Technology course. There won't be any reason to do first year.

However the drawback is that Indian Institutes of Technology do not offer lateral entry scheme. You will have to complete full 4 years course through Indian Institutes of Technology.

Now if you want direct admission in second year, then forget about IIT, however if you are willing to do 4 years course then yes it is possible for you to take admission in Indian Institutes of Technology.

However you will not be appearing for the IIT-JEE entrance exam. It has been replaced with JEE entrance exam. Joint Entrance Exam has combined both AIEEE and IIT-JEE entrance exam.

There are two stages of JEE entrance exam. First is JEE Mains which is similar to AIEEE. If you want All India level 15 percent Engineering seats then must clear the JEE Mains. The second stage is JEE Advanced which is for the admission in Indian Institutes of Technology.

Please remember since you want admission in IIT, you will have to first clear the JEE Mains followed by JEE Advanced.
