While both provide a BTech degree, the modes of learning are different. Distance/Correspondence BTech allows for more flexibility in terms of learning pace and location, but the content and standards of education should be equivalent to those of regular programmes. Regular BTech programmes typically offer more opportunities for hands-on experiences through laboratory work, workshops, and projects. While some Distance/Correspondence BTech programmes incorporate practical components, these may be limited or require students to arrange for local facilities.

Yes, studying civil engineering in 2024 can be worth it, backed by several facts and statistics:

• Infrastructure boom in India with projects like Smart Cities Mission and Bharatmala Pariyojana create high demand for engineers (IBEF).
• Expected shortage of 1.5 million Civil Engineers by 2022 (ASSOCHAM).
• Average starting salary around ?3-5 Lacs per annum, with potential for significant growth with experience and specialization.
• India's GDP growth forecast at 7.5% in 2023 and 6.1% in 2024 (World Bank), fueling construction activity.
