I completely agree with Megha Bhardwaj's reply. I would like to add that the term interest or passion at the age of 17 or 18 could even be a sort of infatuation. So while taking a career decision, do not check the interest level only as at this age, many students may have multiple interests and they may not be able to make the right choice. So, consulting a career guide would be a good option as the opportunities which are presently available and would be available after many years require careful consideration. There are lakhs of Indian students who have told me that their keen interest is to become a film maker. But instead of going to a film school they will be enquiring for courses in an animation college or arts and science college who will definitely not be able to make anyone a film maker. So, unless a student understands the risks involved in becoming a commercially established film maker, if he simply ventures into a course, then there are 100% chances that he may not even get a simple job after course completion and it would become pointless to blame anyone at that time. So, interest must be evaluated against opportunities. And interest should also be evaluated against the basic abilities / natural talents of a person. This would be a better method to derive at the career choice.

Each country has got its own validations with respect to educational qualifications. I do not know about the institute you are referring but in general, Diploma courses offered in India cater to the Indian scenario where many of the employers are keen about the skills and not about any certification from a university or governing body or government of India. Several thousands of professionals in India have studied in many reputed institutes and are into successful careers. But institutes offer the diplomas on their own. So, these Diplomas may not be valid in another country for the purpose of higher education or employment. Please check out with the institute directly and also check with Malaysian education agency whether it is valid in your country.
