B.Tech (Bachelor of Technology)
B.Tech (Bachelor of Technology) is a 4-year undergraduate degree program in engineering and technology. It is one of the most popular and prestigious courses pursued by students who wish to make a career in the engineering sector. The course provides in-depth knowledge of technical and scientific concepts related to various engineering fields, preparing students for a wide range of technical careers in industries such as manufacturing, IT, construction, telecommunications, and more.
Course Details:
- Duration:
- The B.Tech course typically lasts for 4 years, divided into 8 semesters (2 semesters per year).
- Eligibility Criteria:
- 12th grade (Class 12) pass with at least 50% to 60% marks (the percentage may vary depending on the institution).
- Must have studied Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics in Class 12.
- Some institutions may have additional eligibility criteria.
- Admission Process:
- Admission to B.Tech courses is generally based on entrance exams (e.g., JEE Main, JEE Advanced, BITSAT, VITEEE, etc.) or direct merit-based admission (depending on the college or university).
