Shiksha All Time Q&A

Hi dear,
There could be many differences that could be stated but the most important is that the B.Tech course is somewhat more practically intensive than the BE course, which is more theoretical. The name could also pose as a difference that is engineering versus technology, but that actually does not matter. Although for better understanding you could say that:
Engineering is a 'Science', dealing more with theoretical concepts & principles; technology deals more with the application of these theories for practical purposes. But, both BE and B.Tech courses offered by various engineering colleges/ institutes have similar curriculum more or less. Both degrees are valued equally by prospective employers. What matters more is the reputation of the engineering college from where you obtain your BE/ B.Tech degree. There are also a lot of common misconceptions such as, * B.Tech is offered by government institutes and BE is offered by private institutes. There is absolutely no truth in this. Institutes like Netaji Subash Institute of Technology, University of Mumbai (Department of Chemical Technology), which are government institutes offer a BE degree and there are many private institutes that offer a B.Tech degree.
In both, BE and B.Tech, industrial training is compulsory after semester 6. * B.Tech or BE is valued more than the other.

Hi Dear,
COEP and VJTI both are very old colleges in India and in Asia as well. These two colleges are the best for B.Tech in computer engineering. In terms of placements, it is all well as highly reputed companies come to both of these colleges. For B.Tech, many people say that COEP is good because it is situated in Pune and now a days, Pune is a developing IT sector. Most of the IT companies are situated here in Pune. COEP has a great opportunity for further studies. Placement from this college is as good as the IITs. Campus of this college is also good and hostel for boys and girls as well. The great thing about COEP is its academic education which is the best in this college. It has very good experienced faculty members which are very highly educated. For placement, both of these are the best but I think, it is little bit better in VJTI than COEP. But, the hostel condition and infrastructure of VJTI is not that much good as compared to COEP. Mostly, computer Science branch get the maximum salary than the any other branches of engineering. All the very best.

Hi dear,
COEP was established in 1854 and VJTI was established in 1887. Both are the oldest institutes in Asia. Both are government. Autonomous institutes. Course format and material are almost the same. Marginal difference is there in the syllabus. The campus of COEP is bigger and more advanced as compared to VJTI. More facilities and hostel available both for boys and girls. VJTI being in heart of Mumbai city, there is a shortage of hostel, which is being worked upon. In terms of infra, COEP is superior. Placement statistics are very much satisfactory in both colleges I. e. almost 100% in all the branches. It will always be suggested to opt for COEP and keep VJTI as a second option as suggested by me being a VJTIan myself. Suggested this through my personal experience.
