Junior Engineer posts generally ask for a degree or a diploma in the relevant engineering branch — Civil, Mechanical, Electrical or Telecom — from a recognised university or institution. The IMD Scientific Assistant post needs a science or computer science or electronics degree as prescribed for that post. A handful of organisations, such as the Border Roads Organisation, want a degree, or a diploma backed by two years of relevant work experience, so the organisation-wise table in the official notice is the final word for your post.
