Hello,

A Diploma in Mechanical Engineering is a 3-year technical program that teaches the basics of designing, manufacturing, and maintaining mechanical systems. It's usually pursued after Class 10 or 12.

Fee Structure

The fees vary by institute type (government vs private) and state:

• Government Polytechnic Colleges: Rs 5,000 to Rs15,000 per year
• Private Polytechnic Colleges: Rs 25,000 to Rs 80,000 per year

Some colleges charge additional fees for labs, uniforms, exams, etc. Scholarships are available for SC/ST/OBC and economically weaker students.

Admission Process

1. Eligibility:

• Class 10 pass (minimum 35%-50%)
• Some institutes also accept Class 12 students directly into 2nd year (lateral entry)

2. Admission Methods:

• Entrance exams like:
• Delhi CET, JEECUP (Uttar Pradesh), TNEA, AP POLYCET, Maharashtra DTE, etc.
• Merit-based admission in some states or private colleges

In top government polytechnic colleges, most faculty members are B.Tech/M.Tech graduates, often with teaching experience or industry exposure. Private colleges can vary — reputed ones have good faculty, but some may lack experienced staff. Always check college reviews or visit campus if possible.

Hope this helps. All the best!

HIi,

Mechanical engineering is a field that deals with designing, building, and fixing machines. It includes many things like cars, planes, robots, and even things like air conditioners. Automobile engineering is just one part of it, focusing only on cars and vehicles.

So, mechanical engineering is much bigger than just automobiles—it covers all kinds of machines and how they work!
