This Article, BTech course details is for students who don’t know about engineering. A maximum number of students are going for BTech after completing 12th with science. In order to pursue any course, it is important to know each and everything about the course. So, let’s check it out.
Introduction
Engineering is the use of Scientific Principles of design & build machines, structures also include tunnels, roads, vehicles, bridges, and buildings. Engineers are scientists, inventors, designers, builders, etc.
To become an engineer, you can do BTech/BE after 12th. If you want to do engineering right after class 10th you can do a diploma in engineering. So you might have a question regarding “what is the difference between BTech and BE?”. You will get this answer soon in the article itself.

What is BTech Course?
BTech [Bachelor of Technology] is a professional undergraduate degree program. BTech/BE courses can be pursued to become an engineer in the field of interesting areas. The course is designed to develop the technical skills of applicants who wish to work in the technology and development sector. Engineering is one of the most popular career options in India. Also, it is the most sought course after 12th Science. If we talking about BE [Bachelor of Engineering, it is also an engineering degree program. The basic difference between BTech and BE are:
- BE is a more theoretical and knowledge-oriented course in the engineering field. But BTech is a sill and practical oriented course and it is a more application-based course.
2. The syllabus of Btech course changes on any update/transfromation of technology whereas BE curriculum remains the same for a very long time.
Well, there is a quite difference in those two engineering professional courses otherwise both these courses are the same, have similar branches/specialization even have equal job opportunities.
Duration: BTech Course
BTech [Bachelor of Technology] is a 4 years full-time undergraduate professional degree course. If you have done a diploma in engineer after class 10th then you can do this BTech/BE course within 3years. This entry is called lateral entry to the BTech program. So, there are 8 semesters in 4 years of course.
