Hello candidate,
Firstly, the UGC has approved a proposal to allow students to pursue two degree programmes at the same time.
Moreover, one of the degrees has to be in the regular mode and the other either in open and distance learning or online. A student can pursue two degrees in different streams as well as from different institutions.
Hello respected,
According to UGC a student can pursue two degrees at the same time, but provided one degree should be in regular mode and other in open and distance learning or online.
But since, UGC-AIC TE-DEB do not recognize diploma in engineering or any other technical course like BE/ B. Tech through distance education. They have also issued a notification declaring technical distance education invalid. So, you cannot pursue a diploma and a B.Tech degree at the same time.
Further, You can do diploma in electricals and get a lateral entry in B.Tech Electrical Engineering.

Dear Student ,
No , you can't do diploma and B.Tech course simultaneously .You have few options to add this both courses in your academic curriculum :
If you want to get a job early in Electrical domain, then you may choose diploma otherwise , for a better placement with a good annual package , you can pursue B.Tech
Hope this answer helps !
