Hey Raktim Ghose,

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!

This is one of the common questions which students ask so often so to clear all your doubts regarding the same you can go through the below provided comparison -

B.Tech v/s B.E -

• B.Tech is a skill oriented course whereas you can consider B.E for knowledge based program.

• B.Tech is more about practical applications and B.E focuses on theory and strong fundamentals. Also,as B.Tech is technology oriented so it is considered to be up to date whereas in B.E course curriculum gets updated but not so frequently.

• For B.Tech, industrial and internships are mandatory and for B.E it may be an essential part as this fact is almost the same for both.

• After the completion of B.Tech, institutes like IITs, NITs etc provide the degree named as B.TECH and for B.E the degree is almost the same as Arts, Commerce, Science courses.

Good Luck!!!
