You can attain a diploma in most practical industries like Industrial training, Beauty and Hairdressing, Garment technology, laborotory technician etc.

Advanced Diploma

An advanced diploma holder would have acquired broad skill and knowledge qualified to work in relevant skilled and para-professional bodies for specialised skilled work. Holders of an advanced diploma may be exempted by a university for 2 to 3 semesters of studies at the university's relevant bachelor course. The course is mostly taken by professionals as an extension of their existing qualifications like in Accounting & Finance, Advertising, Animation, Aviation, Financial Planning etc.

Few programs offered under the associate degree are Business and Commerce Technology, Mechanical Technology, Data Processing etc.

Bachelor’s Degree

The duration of a bachelor's degree course is usually 3 - 4 years and the emphasis is on academics.
