In India, B.Tech. (Bachelor of Technology) and BE (Bachelor of Engineering) are the same and offered in engineering disciplines.
Bachelor of Technology or Bachelor of Engineering programs include:
- 3-year BE/B.Tech after Diploma in Engineering
- 4-year BE/B.Tech after Grade 12
Admission is usually through an entrance examination like Joint Entrance Examination (JEE).
Bachelor of Engineering
A Bachelor of Engineering is a first professional undergraduate academic degree awarded to a student after three to five years of studying engineering at an accredited university.
In the UK
A B.Eng. degree will be accredited by one of the Engineering Council’s professional engineering institutions as suitable for registration as an incorporated engineer or chartered engineer with further study to masters level.
IN Canada
The degree from a Canadian university can be accredited by the Canadian Engineering Accreditation Board (CEAB). Alternatively, it might be accredited directly by another professional engineering institution, such as the US-based Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE). The B.Eng. contributes to the route to chartered engineer (UK), registered engineer or licensed professional engineer and has been approved by representatives of the profession.
