Students who have successfully passed their 10th standard (Matriculation) from a recognized board are eligible to apply for the Diploma in Mechanical Engineering at Puran Murti Campus, Sonepat. The minimum qualifying marks required typically range from 35% to 50%, depending on the category and the admission route. For general category students, securing at least 50% is preferred, while reserved category candidates (like SC/ST/OBC) may be eligible with slightly lower marks, usually around 35%.
Subjects like Mathematics and Science in Class 10th are considered essential, as they form the foundation for the diploma course. However, the college maintains a student-friendly and inclusive admission policy, meaning that even students with average academic performance can get a chance to pursue this course, especially if they show interest and aptitude in the field of mechanical engineering.
The eligibility also extends to those who are applying for lateral entry, which means students who have completed 10+2 with PCM/PCB or vocational streams, or those who have finished a 2-year ITI in a related trade, can join directly into the second year of the program.
Overall, the eligibility criteria are designed to ensure that students from various academic backgrounds can access technical education, while still maintaining a quality intake. The aim is to prepare young minds for industry-oriented careers through practical training, regardless of whether they come from urban or rural areas, or from high or average scoring backgrounds.
