You are a BCA graduate so you are eligible for diploma in Civil Engineering.

Those candidates who have passed matriculation/10th with Mathematics, Physical Science & English from Central or State Board recognized by Govt are eligible for diploma entrance exam.

Your age should be below 21 years.

Yes, for diploma in civil engineering the minimum qualification is class 10th which you have without any doubt. Therefore, you are definitely eligible for admission through polytechnic entrance exam.

Most of the entrance exam have upper age limit. Hence, you have to make sure that you are applying for exams which don't have upper age limit if your age is above 21 years.

Yes, definitely you are eligible to study Diploma in Civil Engineering course being a BCA graduate. Candidates who have passed 10th standard or equivalent examination with minimum aggregate of 40% marks from a recognised board are eligible to pursue Diploma course. Some colleges offers direct admission in Diploma course on the basis of 10th standard board examination marks whereas some colleges conducts an entrance examination and offers admission to merit candidates of the entrance examination. Since, you have already completed BCA course, you are eligible to study Diploma in Civil Engineering course.

Yes, you can do Diploma in Civil Engineering. The eligibility to study the course is a pass in 10th or 10+2. So you can join the course in the 2nd year of the Diploma course through lateral entry. In many polytechnic colleges they have the lateral entry system, so you can complete your diploma in civil engineering in 2 years time. In some states there will be an entrance examination for the diploma admission. But think twice before you take any decision because you have already studied BCA. So going back and studying diploma will spoil your current qualification.

Yes, you can pursue Diploma in Civil Engineering course after completion of your BCA as the minimum eligibility is 10+2 level of education from any recognized Institute, therefore you are very much eligible to pursue the course.

I completed my BCA degree now. I am very much interested in engineering. Please tell me can I eligible to study civil engineering now?

Actually I am an electronics and communication engineering graduate but I want to change my engineering field towards civil engineering so can I do diploma in civil engineering being as an engineering graduate??

Can I do diploma and graduation together

I have done diploma in civil engineering can I do BcA after that
