What is the difference between polytechnic and engineering
The basic difference between a B.Tech and Polytechnic engineering courses is that a B.Tech is a degree course while a Polytechnic is a diploma course in engineering
One can opt for a polytechnic course just after 10thor it can also be done after 12th. But one cannot opt for B.Tech only after 12thwith physics, chemistry and maths as compulsory subjects. The duration of a polytechnic course is of minimum 3 years but you can take a lateral entry in polytechnic if you have done ITI for which the duration of the course will then be 2 years. The admissions are based on Polytechnic Entrance Exam which happens in the month of May or June, in some states polytechnics also take direct admission in 3 years diploma course.For B.Tech the duration of the course is 4 years, but a lateral entry can be taken directly to the second year if a person has done a polytechnic course. The admissions are based on JEE ranking and some other institutes and colleges conduct their own entrance exams.
All the best
hello hijithin raj, there is a lot of difference in polytechnic colleges and engineering colleges.
the key difference is polytechnic colleges offer diplomas whereas engineering colleges offer degrees in various fields of engineering like mechanical, civil, automobile etc. the polytechnic colleges are for students who want to do practical jobs after diploma or for students those who want to pursue engineering degrees through this path as after their diplomas they can get admission directly in second year of four year study of engineering whereas students in engineering degrees have come directly after 12th and pursue a 4 year course.
I hope this helps. Thanks.
Dear Student.
Both are two different courses but the basic difference is that B.Tech is a degree course while a Polytechnic is a diploma course in engineering. One can opt for a polytechnic course just after 10th or it can also be done after 12th. But one cannot opt for B.Tech only after 12th with physics, chemistry and maths as compulsory subjects. Polytechnic is 3 year diploma course while BTech is 4 year degree course but as per career aspect, one can have a better career in persuing BTech as compared to Diploma Course.
Polytechnic is the diploma course which is available after the Tenth standard. It is a 3 years course .
Engineering is the undergraduation course which is available after 12th standard. It is a 4 years course.
The student who completed the diploma can directly join in the second year of the Engineering course after clearing the exam for example ECET( In AP&TS)
hi raj,
the degree value and duration are the big difference between both courses.
engineering will be b.tech/b.e course ,duration of atleast 4 years.but polytechnic is diploma course of engineering,you can do polytechnic even after 10th or 12th.for engineering, you can apply after only 12th.
all the best!!
