Modern College is a private institute, founded in 2016. This page brings together what is on record for this course at Modern College — fees, seats, eligibility, the admission route and placements — so you can judge it before you apply.

Most Diploma programmes follow a similar pattern: the first year builds the foundations, the middle years go deep into the subject, and the final year is given over to electives, a major project and usually an internship.

Here that means thermodynamics, fluid mechanics, machine design, manufacturing processes and CAD. Typical first jobs: mechanical, design, production or maintenance engineer.

The exact syllabus is set by the college or its affiliating university and changes from year to year, so ask Modern College for the current semester-wise plan.

Modern College has not published a fee for Diploma in Mechanical Engineering (CAD/CAM) on our record yet. When you ask, ask for the total across all 3 years — not just the first-year figure — and whether hostel and exam fees are included.

To get into Diploma in Mechanical Engineering (CAD/CAM), you usually need Class 10 (or Class 12, for some diplomas).

Admission to this kind of course is usually through state polytechnic entrance exams. Reserved-category candidates generally get a relaxation in the minimum marks. Check Modern College's prospectus for the exact cut-off this year.

Ask yourself — and the college — these questions first:

• Are you genuinely interested in thermodynamics? You will spend 3 years on it.
• What will the full course cost, including hostel and living costs?
• What do recent graduates of this course actually go on to do?
• How does Modern College compare with other colleges offering Diploma?
