The Polytechnic in ECE College in Delhi NCR offers a 3-year diploma program in Electronics and Communication Engineering. The entire course is divided into 6 semesters, with each semester lasting about 6 months. This structure allows students to gradually progress from basic concepts to advanced applications in electronics and communication.
During the first year, students learn the fundamentals of electronics, mathematics, and science. This builds a strong foundation and ensures that even those coming straight after class 10 can easily adapt. From the second year onward, the focus shifts to core subjects such as electronic devices, communication systems, microprocessors, digital electronics, and embedded systems. The final year emphasizes practical training, industry exposure, projects, and workshops to make students job-ready.
For students who join through lateral entry (after class 12 PCM or ITI), the course duration is reduced to 2 years (4 semesters) instead of 3. This is because they already have a higher academic background or technical training, so they can skip the first year and move directly into the second year of the program.
The semester system is beneficial because:
Students learn in manageable portions without being overloaded.
There are regular assessments like mid-terms, practicals, and assignments to track progress.
Each semester introduces new subjects, labs, and projects to keep learning dynamic and hands-on.
So, for most students, the Polytechnic in ECE diploma is a 3-year journey (6 semesters), but with lateral entry, it becomes a 2-year diploma (4 semesters), helping students save time while still gaining full technical knowledge and skills.
