According to eligibility criteria of IITs and NITs you can't get admission into either of them. Eligibility criteria says that you need to score 75% aggregate score in 12th board exams which is not possible for a diploma student. If you still want to pursue a course at IIT you can take LEET examination and get into an Engineering college complete a BE/BTech course and then apply for GATE examination. Obviously the road is long but if you wish to go for IIT then it is worth a try.

Unfortunately you can not get admission into any NIT or IIT after diploma, You need to have a 10+2 degree and qualify JEE -MAINS for NIT admission or JEE-ADVANCED for IIT admissions.

Hello aspirant,

There are a lot of opportunities for Diploma holders in both the cases. For higher study, you can opt for engineering entrance examinations and if you want to get a government job then start preparing for the competitive exams like RRB JE, RRB ALP, state-level Junior Engineer examination, bank exam preparation, etc.

Diploma holders are eligible to get direct admission in second year of B. Tech or B.E. through LEET exam. LEET exam is conducted for Diploma holders who want to get admission in B.E or B.

Hope this helps !
