hello there!

many of the students after completion of their 1oth examination  confuse that whether to do diploma or 12th after their matriculation.If you want to settle down fast in your life doing diploma will be the best for you.In diploma,after completion of your three years course,you will be surely hired by companies and you will get a good job.On the other hand,companies also prioritize for giving jobs to diploma students when compared to b tech students  as they have more practical knowledge with diploma.If you want to further continue your studies after diploma you can directly join into b tech 2nd year by writing an entrance exam.

so,if your aim is to be an engineer,it would be helpful for you with diploma ground as compared to intermediate background.

Or else,you are not sure about your aim or you still don't have any idea about in which field you are interested in,you better go with 12th science.Because, having an intermediate certificate is mandatory for some government exams and you will have more options to choose your career.After your intermediate,you can go for engineering or management or  for government jobs and many more.

i hope this helps

goodluck!
