Today, B.E and B.Tech are virtually synonymous. Apart from certain differences which may reflect the specific character of the institution and certain very basic philosophies of education in terms of the technical content itself there will be very little distinctions between B.E and B.Tech.

Hello Mona,

BE stands for Bachelor's of Engineering while BTech stands for Bachelor's in Technology. Both the degrees are equivalent. In India most Institutes provides BTech degrees while abroad most universities provide BE degrees.

The minor difference is said to be that BTech is more of a practical approach while BE is more of a theoretical approach.
