To join a Polytechnic in Automobile Engineering College in Delhi, the basic eligibility is very simple and student-friendly. You must have passed Class 10 from any recognized board such as CBSE, ICSE, or a state board. Most colleges require you to have at least 35% to 45% marks in your 10th exam, depending on their admission rules. There is no need for high marks, which makes it easier for students from all backgrounds to apply.
Some colleges also allow lateral entry directly into the second year of the diploma. For that, you need to have completed either Class 12 with Science (PCM) or an ITI in a relevant trade like mechanic, electrician, or fitter.
There is no strict age limit, and students who want to start their technical career early can join right after 10th. In Delhi, many institutes also accept students through CET (Common Entrance Test), but several colleges also offer direct admission based on merit, so you have flexible options.
