Getting into uni?
Im currently studying AS Psychology, AS Applied ICT as well as a BTEC subsidiary diploma in sport. I really now want to go into quantity surveying, where I need about 270/280 UCAS points. I really worry that what I am doing is too weak to get me into uni, and then also harming my chances of employment, this is why I have looked at the Extended Diploma in construction. Would anyone advise me to stick with what I am doing in my A2 year, or go to college to study the extended diploma?
What gives me the best chance of A) getting into uni B) good employment prospects.

You've really made it hard for yourself to get into university, not only by taking a mix of of A-levels and BTECs, but also by picking such soft subjects - psychology is the only one which is even remotely respectable, the other two are worse than useless if you want to get into university. Your best bet is probably to look into some sort of foundation courses or possibly the higher level apprenticeships, and then try to get into a degree course after that. You will struggle without maths or physics, mind you, as both subjects are fairly fundamental to surveying.
I would suggest that you look at the RICS website http://www.rics.org/uk/the-profession/ which tells you how to get into the profession, what you need to study and where, what the various pathways are, etc.

For better job opportunities, you should opt for degree courses rather than diploma and also in one of the good universities like: Lovely Professional University, Thapar, Osmania, PEC, BITS...... You'll find good placements and good infrastructure here. Just find out various courses offered and eligibility criteria from their websites....
