There is no major difference between these two degrees in terms of value and future job prospects. Let's go back to the history of Indian education system. After independence there were universities which provide different degrees in arts,science, commerce and engineering as well and some of the universities which provide dedicated engineering degrees.
Universities which provide other degrees along with engineering called their engineering degrees B.E (bachelor of engineering) and those universities having dedicated engineering degrees only called their engineering degrees B.tech (bachelor of technology).
IITS offer B.Tech degrees because they were among the first institutes established exclusively for engineering education.

Hii..

The only difference that matters is this:

"The 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.

Misconceptions

* 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

Your performance matters more than your degree title. Neither is preferred over the other.

All the best!

Dear Aspirants/Guardians

Difference between BE and Btech is that BE is focused on theory and Btech is technology based.

All the very best and good luck.

Dear Aditya,

There is no much big difference between B.E and B.Tech and both the degrees serve same values.

No degree is superior over other.

The only difference between both the degrees is B.tech is a practical course and B.E is theoretical course.

You should focus on to get top college of engineering to get good knowledge, exposure and placements.

Good Luck!!
