Understanding Diploma Engineering
Diploma in Engineering is a 3-year technical course designed for students who have completed their 10th standard. Unlike traditional academic paths, diploma education focuses on practical skills and hands-on training. Students learn by doing, with approximately 60% practical training and 40% theory. This makes diploma holders job-ready immediately after completion, unlike traditional degree courses that require additional training.
At Royal Academy, we follow the latest MSBTE curriculum which is regularly updated to match industry requirements. Our teaching methodology includes live projects, industrial visits, and workshops conducted by industry experts. Students get exposure to real-world engineering challenges through our strong industry connections with companies in MIDC areas of Karad, Satara, and Pune.
