No,  it is not possible to pursue BTech as well as BSc at the same time, however there are few alternatives that you can consider:

However, there are alternative ways to achieve your goals:

• Integrated Dual Degree Programs: Some universities offer integrated dual degree programs like BTech.-MSc (or similar combinations) that allow you to earn two degrees within a longer duration (typically 5-6 years) compared to a regular BTech or BSc program.
• Distance Learning (BSc): Consider pursuing a BSc degree through a distance learning programme from a recognised university while attending a regular BTech program. This requires discipline and proper time management, but it allows you to earn both degrees. However, some employers might value a regular BSc more than a distance learning degree.
• Focus on One Degree and Pursue Certifications: Complete your BTech degree and then pursue relevant certifications or online courses related to the field you'd like to explore through a BSc (e.g., Data Science, Biotechnology). This allows you to gain additional knowledge and skills without the burden of a second full degree.

Candidates are offered seat in IIT Patna BTech CSE programme based on their JEE Advanced rank. Looking at the past three-year closing rank, the cutoffs has a declining trend. The closing rank was 3144 in 2024, 3377 in 2025 and 3635 in 2026. 

This depends on your interest and learning potential. The syllabus that is tough for you might be very easy to grasp for your friend, who finds it interesting and intriguing. For example, you may find engineering applications and Calculus taught in the first year of BTech courses very tough because of the high mathematical aptitude and engineering theory that it deals with. But, for some other person, it might be easy to study, as it gives you a channel to learn, explore, and experiment with something different.

In the past five years, there has been a steady decline in enrollment for B.Tech and B.E courses due to a reduction in job opportunities in core streams. Fresher hiring by IT companies has notably decreased, dropping from 26% of overall passouts in FY22 to 15% and 10% in FY23 and FY24. However, Cloud Computing, Artificial Intelligence, and Cybersecurity, which continue to experience niche demand are in hope.

There is rising demand in emerging BTech specializations like Robotics Engineering, Biotechnology Engineering, Food Technology, etc.
