I have a three-year diploma in Interior Design. Am I eligible to pursue a bachelor's degree course in any other field?

Dear Student, 

If you have successfully finished a three-year diploma in Interior Design, you can continue your studies by applying for a bachelor’s degree, not only in interior design but also in several other fields. Many universities in India and abroad offer lateral entry or bridge programs that allow diploma holders to join a bachelor’s course directly from the second year. Depending on factors such as the discipline of your diploma and the university’s rules, you may be eligible for courses like B.Sc, BBA, BCA, or even B.Tech in certain cases.

A diploma acts as a strong academic base and is often recognised as proof of your skills and training, which is why institutions consider diploma students for higher education. However, each university has its own policies regarding admission, equivalency, and the selection process. In some cases, you may be required to meet a minimum percentage in your diploma or clear entrance tests and interviews.

Exploring these options carefully through the official websites of respective universities is always advisable. This pathway provides diploma graduates with flexibility, enabling them to move into diverse professional and academic areas and helping them expand their knowledge and career opportunities well beyond their original field of study.
