Hey Pradeep Khade,

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.

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

All the best!

Dear Aspirants/Guardians

Difference between BE and Btech is that BE is focused on theory and Btech is technology based.

All the very best and good luck.

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.

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.

BE is more into covering the theoretical aspects and if you see the marks distribution they have a higher weight-age on the theory than the practicals. (80 for theory 20 for practicals)



B.Tech concentrates on giving practical knowledge and have more lab exercise and practicals. It has the marks distribution as 60 for theory 40 for practicals.



Hope this helps!!!
