B.Tech

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. What matters more is the reputation of the engineering college from where you obtain your B.E/ B.Tech degree. The course of B.E degree fo
uses on theoretical knowledge needed to innovate technology and make new technical gadgets. While the course of B.Tech degree focuses on application and skill based study and is useful if one is interested in modifying structures to enhance their quality. B.E. Is considered a knowledge oriented course where more emphasis is given on the theoretical part of the curriculum while B.Tech is skill oriented which gives more emphasis on practicals
There are some Misconceptions about B.E & B.Tech like:
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 as well. )
B.Tech or BE is valued more than the other- (Your performance and to a lesser extent your college is what matters. Neither is preferred over the other. )
Hope this helps.
