The eligibility and admission criteria for the 2026-27 academic session are established to ensure that every student entering the diploma stream possesses a reliable foundational education. The primary requirement is the successful completion of Class 10 (High School) or its equivalent from a recognized board, such as the Board of Secondary Education (BSE), Odisha, CBSE, or ICSE. This academic milestone serves as the essential gatekeeper, confirming that the candidate has the mental maturity and disciplined study habits required to transition from general schooling to a high-intensity, "Practical-First" technical environment.
To maintain an accessible yet quality-driven standard for technical education, a minimum aggregate of 35% marks is generally required for admission into diploma engineering courses. This benchmark ensures that the student body consists of individuals who have demonstrated a consistent ability to grasp basic mathematical and scientific concepts. Meeting this threshold is the first step toward becoming "Day-Zero Productive", as it proves the student has the academic potential to participate in 60% lab-based learning and eventually secure placements at global MNCs like Samsung, Tata Motors, and L&T.
In terms of age requirements, the policy sets a lower age limit of 14 years as of July 1, 2026. This age criterion is strictly aligned with national educational safety and labor standards, ensuring that students are physically and cognitively prepared to handle the "Workstation and Wrench" demands of high-tech laboratories. By starting their technical journey at this age, students can complete their 3-year diploma by age 17, giving them a significant head start in the 2026 job market or allowing for early Lateral Entry into advanced degree programs.
A unique feature of this admission policy is that there is no upper age limit for candidates. This "Open-Door" approach encourages lifelong learning and skill up-gradation, allowing working professionals or those returning to education to enhance their technical expertise. Whether a student is a fresh 10th-grade graduate or an adult looking to pivot into a new career in Robotics or Aeronautical Engineering, the 33-acre Sonepat campus provides a secure and inclusive residential environment for all age groups to master industry-standard tools like AutoCAD and SolidWorks.
Ultimately, successfully meeting these basic eligibility requirements is the first milestone in a journey toward a global career. Students who enter through this verified path are the ones who eventually benefit from merit-based scholarships—including up to 100% tuition fee waivers—and graduate to secure record-breaking salary packages reaching up to ₹39.5 LPA. By merging 18+ years of faculty expertise with modern research facilities, the institution ensures that every eligible candidate is transformed into an Exceptional Candidate ready to lead the next generation of the global industrial and digital revolution.
