Hello

BE and BTech are quite similar in India but there are some differences:

1. Curriculum Focus :

BE (Bachelor of Engineering) : More theoretical and focuses on the core engineering principles.

BTech (Bachelor of Technology) : More application-based, emphasizing practical skills and industry exposure.

2. Syllabus & Approach :

The syllabus of both degrees is about 90% similar.

BTech includes more lab work, internships and hands-on projects , while BE is more focused on theoretical concepts.

3. Institutes Offering :

BE is often awarded by traditional universities.

BTech is commonly provided by technical institutions like IITs, NITs and private engineering colleges.

4. Career Prospects :

Both degrees have equal job opportunities in engineering fields.

Companies do not differentiate much between BE and BTech during recruitment.

BE and BTech are nearly equivalent and Chandigarh University is correct in saying they are the same. However, minor variations exist in syllabus structure and teaching methodology.

Hope this gives you the clarity you need.
