Yes, there are many more options that most of the students do not realise. Though students didn't clear the MHT-CET entrance exam, they can apply for BTech courses in Maharashtra JEE Main scores, which are accepted by both govt. and private colleges. There are many private and deemed universities also where direct admission is granted based on Class 12 marks or by conducting own entrance exam. There are also many colleges with admission under management quota, in which the students are selected based on academic record and personal interview rounds. Of course for the better government colleges having best MHT-CET or JEE Main scores are highly recommended.

The eligibility criteria for the Distance / Correspondence BTech course may differ from college to college. However, the basic eligibility criteria for Distance / Correspondence BTech colleges in Pune are as follows. The candidates:

• Must have passed Class 12 with a minimum 60% aggregate from a recognised board with Physics,  Chemistry, and Mathematics as core subjects (the pass percentage may vary in different colleges).
• A candidate who has completed a Diploma from a recognised board/ university/ institute can also apply.

Hello Kundan, In regular B.Tech, you have to go to college and maintain a certain attendance percentage to be eligible to appear for exams. In distance B.Tech, you have to go to college only to appear for exams. In B.Tech, not all subjects are easy. In most of the subjects, you would need some expert guidance to understand them. In Regular B.Tech, you can get such expert guidance from the faculty members. However, In Distance B.Tech, enough guidance won't be available. In regular B.Tech, regular laboratory sessions help to understand how the theoretical concepts in books apply in the real world. However, this option isn't available in Distance B.Tech. In distance B.Tech, there is no scope for on-campus placement. Most of the companies demand for Regular B.Tech with focus on internships and final year projects. So, Distance B.Tech loses quite a lot of placement options. Most of the well-known universities do not endorse Distance B.Tech. So, doing Distance B.Tech from a lesser known university screws the career. In short, I would recommend you to go for Regular B.Tech. Opt for Distance B.Tech only if you have financial issues and need a source of income to support yourself and your family. I hope I have been able to answer your queries. If so, kindly upvote this answer. If you have any further questions, feel free to revert.

Students, in their own interest, are advised to attend the classes. As, each university or institution sets its own attendance policies for distance education programs. Some might have stringent in-person requirements,  while others might offer greater flexibility. Carefully study the programme guidelines and contact the institution directly for clarification.

This is one of the most debatable questions that exists in the minds of Maharashtra engineering aspirants. Govt colleges like COEP Pune, VJTI Mumbai, ICT Mumbai etc. are as good as the best in the country with strong academics, very cheap fees, best placements.

Private and autonomous colleges are equally good in terms of modern infrastructure and industry contacts, placements and sometimes even more than the government colleges. The answer depends upon your entrance exam cutoff, eligibility, desired location and specialisation.

Only a handful of companies hire BTech students who have studied in distance modes. Companies like Wipro, TCS, Infosys, Cognizant and other service based companies prefer students who have full-time Engineering courses. However, other don't bother and prefer distance candidates too. These companies value skill-set more than the mode of your degree. Hope this helps!

The clear answer is no. An online BTech degree is not valid in India anymore. It is not approved by the All India Council for Technical Education (AICTE) because of a variety of reasons. One important reason is zero practical exposure. Technical programs like BTech are meant for the professional world, which demands technical expertise and advanced skills that is not possible in the online mode. Secondly, there is no lab assistance possible in online BTech courses, making it less valuable than regular face-to-face BTech programs.

Since, the UGC also does not recognize an online degree, there are hardly any job opportunities for online BTech degree holders in government organizations. Further, private job providers as well as MNCs also do not give value to online BTech anymore.

There are many scholarship options available for BTech abroad. The scholarships are different for different BTech specializations. Country where you're planning to study the course, your previous academic record, etc.

For example, the National University of Singapore - 'Science & Technology Undergraduate Scholarship' based on merit for various specializations like Computer Science Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, and Civil Engineering.
