Distance B.Tech

Scope for a distance BTech degree in India varies based on accreditation of the university, engineering specialization, and skills of the candidate.In general, a distance BTech is good for any professionally employed individual and one who does not wish to attend regular classes. The issue sometimes faced is the recognition of the distance BTech degree by top companies or government jobs, which favour regular BTech graduates.In fact, it might be a dream come true for many of the students of the distance learning B.Tech degree course in India. It is not important whether public or private sector corporations hire the students.Apart from job placements, the students can also have post-graduation programs like Masters or M.B.A. above their qualifications. Degree holders in distance B.Tech are also benefited from software developer, system analyst, project manager in technical lines across various engineering sectors. 

Hi,No, you cannot take a correspondence course (also known as distance education) for a BTech degree at IITs or NITs  (or any other reputable institute in India) because the Supreme Court of India has ruled that BTech programs require extensive practical training, which is difficult to achieve effectively through pure distance learning. Therefore, distance BTech education is considered invalid in India.Alternatives to Consider:B.Tech Distance Education from Accredited Universities: While IITs and NITs don't offer distance B.Tech, some universities do. However, be aware of the limitations of distance education as discussed previously.Online Courses: Online platforms like NPTEL and Coursera offer high-quality engineering courses that can supplement your learning or provide specialised knowledge in specific areas.M.Tech Programs (for working professionals): Some IITs and NITs offer M.Tech programs through distance education, but these are typically for working professionals who already hold a B.Tech degree.Hope it clears your doubt !
