A diploma is a technical program that only covers the vitalities when compared with an UG engineering degree. A diploma actually aims to provide industry or job related engineering knowledge and information, computing and analysis, mathematical techniques, scientific skills communication skills and the ability to apply problem solving techniques and decision making.
The students who have a diploma certification get employment as technicians, workshop technicians, supervisors, superintendents, foremen, technologists, machinist, station technicians, automobile technicians, maintenance and service technicians, equipment mechanics and technicians, CAD or CAM programmer, instrument technicians, junior instructors, manufacturing, tool and die designers and so on.
Once you get your diploma, then you can attend an engineering college for only 2 years to get a degree.

The syllabus of a diploma program and of the B.Tech or BE program is more or less similar, but the level of curriculum is higher in the latter. However, the students who take up diploma have an advantage as they are likely to already have solid base knowledge of the fundamentals and basics of the program when compared to the B.Tech or BE students who directly enter after their twelfth class.
There are a number of students who enroll in a diploma in the engineering program just because it permits them to opt for the second year of Bachelor of Engineering degree program. That is why it is also called as the backdoor to degree engineering.
So all in all, everything depends on our choice and interest and how do we prove ourselves in the chosen field.
