The triple differential cross sections estimation have been ascertained theoretically for the ionization of metastable 3d-state hydrogen atoms by electron at 150 eV, 200 eV and 250 eV for assorted kinematic conditions exerting a multiplex scattering principle. The existent new-findings are assimilated with the theoretic data of hydrogenic metastable 2S, 3S and 3P states as well as the hydrogenic ground state experiment. An analysis of the attained observations reveals qualitative fitness with those of compared results specially with hydrogenic ground state BBK model, ground state experimental data and metastable state 2S state results. This is a new theoretical work on hydrogenic metastable 3d state ionization by electron. The substantial progress of the current study offers a wide scope for empirical study in ionization process.
