What is the difference between a B.E and B.Tech?

Bachelor of Engineering (B.E)

  1. BE is more theoretical and education oriented. It’s a quantitative analysis.
  2. The course deals with the engineering aspects of Science.
  3. The course is used to build innovative devices and practical technical equipment for Science and technology.

B.Tech

  1. B. Tech is a skill / data-oriented company. The training is more about applications of engineering.  
  2. The course deals with the technical aspects of Science.  
  3. The course extends the ideas of engineering and technology to the alteration of systems and, thus, to the enhancement of their function.
