Distance/Correspondence

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 !

Hi, Yes a distance BTech in ECE can make a difference to your career as a lab technician in the IT sector if you have already done a Diploma in ECE. Here's why:Enhanced knowledge and skills: A BTech degree will provide you with a more comprehensive understanding of fundamental engineering concepts and advanced topics in ECE, like digital electronics, microprocessors, control systems, and communication engineering. This deeper knowledge can make you a more valuable asset in your current role or open doors to new opportunities in areas like:Design and development of electronic components and systems used in IT infrastructure.Troubleshooting and repair of complex IT equipment.Offering IT support to all its technical employees.Engaged in research and development in the field of IT and robotics.Hope it clears your doubt !

Hi, Regular BTech degrees are generally preferred over distance BTech degrees in the corporate world for various reasons:Normal BTech courses are characterised by comprehensive, intensive learning through covered modules, practical sessions, tutorials and contact with faculty. This means that there is improvement on the technical content and knowledge that is key learning in the learning institutions.Distance BTech courses, while potentially offering flexibility, may raise concerns about the quality of education and practical training received. The lack of practical lab experience and limited faculty interaction can impact the development of essential engineering skills.Accreditation plays an important role. In India, currently, there are no accredited BTech distance education. This lack of official recognition by the AICTE can further diminish the credibility of such degrees in the eyes of employers.Hope it resolves your doubt !

Hi, The required study time can vary significantly depending on Program format and schedule:Part-time programs: These typically involve evening or weekend classes for 2-3 hours per session,  requiring additional time for assignments and self-study. Expect dedicating around 15-20 hours per week to stay on track.Online BTech. with on-campus sessions: These might have online lectures with mandatory lab sessions or workshops spread across weekends or specific days. Depending on the frequency and intensity of in-person sessions,  you might need 10-15 hours per week for online work and additional time for on-campus activities.Upskilling courses: Online courses provide greater flexibility,  but self-motivated learning requires setting your own schedule. Aim for daily study sessions of at least 1-2 hours to make consistent progress.Hope it cleared your doubt !
