Diploma in Plastic Engineering is a three year Diploma level course that deals with the studies of plastic material like plastic, polymers, elastomers, resins and the process of manufacturing of these products. Some of the curriculum areas include; Material Science, Polymer Chemistry, Plastic Processing, Plastic testing, quality control, extrusion technology. It is our hope that this program will help in cultivating abilities in plastic product design, design and production, testing and quality assurance.
The entrance exams accepted for Diploma in Plastic Engineering admissions are: PGET of respective state, Polytechnic Common Entrance Test, Common Admission Test – All India Diploma conducted by IGNOU, LEET for entry into second year of Diploma and Direct Admission from 10th Standard marks. Being a part of a college offers one an added advantage since many colleges conduct their own qualifying written tests for admissions.
