Sorry to say,but,you can't join Navy while studying final year diploma in mechanical because Diploma holdar are not eligible for NDA exam or CDS exam.

If you would have done your 12th in PCM group and your age would be in between 16.5 years to 19 years then you would have become eligible for the NDA exam.
