Admission to these post graduate diploma programmes is generally aimed at applicants who hold a degree in engineering, an MCA, or a qualification treated as equivalent by the institute, and some individual diplomas accept a wider set of science and technology backgrounds. Selection is normally linked to performance in the common admission test conducted by C-DAC, and applicants are usually expected to register for that test separately. Because the exact pre-requisite differs from one diploma to another and is revised between cycles, prospective applicants should confirm the qualifying degree, the marks requirement and any experience condition in the current notification on the official C-DAC admissions portal.

Applications are handled online through the official C-DAC admissions portal. Prospective students are normally expected to read the current notification, choose their preferred diploma and test centre, complete online registration, pay the applicable fee and then appear for the common admission test on the scheduled examination day. Results, seat allotment and reporting instructions are published on the same portal. Registration closes on the announced closing date for each cycle, and that date, along with the examination schedule and the course commencement date, changes with every intake, so applicants should take the timetable only from the official C-DAC website rather than from this listing.
