If you do or study Diploma in Engineering course you may loose eligibility for National Defense Academy (NDA) examination even if you study Physics,Mathematics,Chemistry subjects because required Educational qualification is Intermediate or 10+2 course which is after 10th class.But Diploma course wil in duration of 10+3 years.

So, Choose your that If you are interested for NDA examination then do or study 10+2 course other wise Diploma course.

Friend, please note that# You are presently in the 10th standard. It is the high time to keep yourself ready for NDA Examination in future.# It is mandatory that candidate must be INTERMEDIATE OR ITS EQUIVALENT for the NDA Examination.# But you are planning for an engineering diploma after 10th standard directly.# But note that DIPLOMA IS CONSIDERED EQUIVALENT TO THE INTERMEDIATE. So you will be eligible for the NDA Examination.# If the subjects physics and mathematics are in the syllabus of engineering diploma, then you will be also eligible for navy & airforce, otherwise you will be eligible for army only.
