Not necessarily. For admission to a Diploma in Fire Technology and Safety program, the minimum requirement is typically a 10th-pass qualification from a recognized board, with the minimum marks set by the institute or state technical board. You don’t need to have high grades or advanced science knowledge beforehand.
The course is designed to build your skills progressively, starting with basic concepts of fire science and safety before moving into more complex topics like industrial safety management, risk assessment, and legal compliance. Colleges also offer hands-on training to ensure you gain practical skills even if you come from a non-technical or rural educational background.
By the time you graduate, you’ll be fully prepared for both technical and managerial roles in fire safety, regardless of your starting academic level.
