what is the difference between Diploma in Optometry and Bachelor in Optometry ? and which one is best for making career ?
Hi aspirant,
Bachelor in Optometry is a 4 year under graduate course while Diploma in Optometry is a 3 year undergraduate course.
- Eligibility for both is 10 + 2 from a recognized university irrespective of state/ CBSE / ICSE.
- Possibly you can pursue Masters Degrees in Optometry, such as M.OPTOM or M.Sc in Optometry after you complete your Bachelors in Optometry.
- Moreover in Diploma, you need more undergraduate knowledge to pursue masters
- Also, the annual package for a Bachelors is higher than the diploma graduates.
- Also, with the duration of course we can understand that Bachelors is a detailed study of 4 years as compared to Diploma which is of 3 years.
- I would suggest you to think for Bachelors in Optometry for a good career .
Hope that helps.
