Hii..

The only difference that matters is this:

"the B.Tech course is somewhat more practically intensive than the BE course which is more theoretical"

The difference (which is quite minor) between the two degrees can be understood from their names itself, Engineering Vs. Technology.

Engineering is a "science", dealing more with theoretical concepts & principles; technology deals more with the application of these theories for practical purposes. But, both B.E. & B.Tech courses offered by various engineering colleges/ institutes, have similar curriculum more or less. Both degrees are valued equally by prospective employers. What matters more is the reputation of the engineering college from where you obtain your B.E/ B.Tech degree.

Misconceptions

* B.Tech is offered by government institutes and B.E. is offered by private institutes.

There is absolutely no truth in this. Institutes like Netaji Subash Institute of Technology, University of Mumbai (Department of Chemical Technology) which are government institutes offer a BE degree and there are many private institutes that offer a B.Tech degree

* No industrial training in BE or B.Tech

In both, BE and B.Tech, industrial training is compulsory after semester 6.

* B.Tech or BE is valued more than the other

Your performance matters more than your degree title. Neither is preferred over the other.

Hey Harsh Lalit Kumar Jain,

The course of B.E. is designed to cover whole theory and technology (mechanisms) of a system. Let it simply by an example: Suppose we are developing a satellite for xyz purpose. If you are a B.E. degree holder, then you should posses the theoretical domain expertise (with practical knowledge too) of various components used in it like ICs, conductor etc etc. But B.tech course mainly focus on practical training. Means you need not to (much) bother about the history of components used, only you need to be expert to choose the exact components with exact calculation, so that product can deliver efficiently it's purpose.In short, B.E. covers core theory and less practical knowledge, while B.Tech posses much practical knowledge with limited theoretical knowledge.Now a days, in industry, both B.E and B.tech considered as equal.

All the best!

There is no difference in these degrees in terms of value and scope.

Difference between both the degrees

1-The B.Tech course is somewhat more practically intensive than the BE course which is more theoretical.

2- Generally, Universities offering other degrees (like science, arts, education etc.) along with engineering named their degree as B.E and Institutes (including IITs) offering only engineering studies named their degree as B.tech.

3- Some of the popular colleges offering B.E degree are NSIT, BITS and Anna university and popular colleges which are offering B.tech degree are IITs, NITs and DTU.

In Conclusion, in the present scenario, there is no considerable difference between B.E and B.Tech and no degree is superior over the other.
