The right path for you is to join 14-months Normal International Diploma Course and get more than 75% marks in the final examination. After that you can join advance Diploma Course and do the Advance part of this course i.e. study books/literature, give monthly tests, attend Advance Conferences monthly at Avari/ PC or Sheraton, do the project work and sit in final examination after 14-months. It means you have to study 28 month (14 months Normal part and , 14 months Advance part).
