Bachelor of Engineering (BE) is more theory and knowledge-oriented. BITS Pilani is a well-known institution that offers a BE in various disciplines. Bachelor of Technology (BTech) is more practical and technology-oriented. The IITs and NITs offer a BTech in various disciplines. Internships and industrial visits may be essential in a BE degree, but these are absolutely mandatory in a BTech degree. The BTech curriculum is rapidly updated as per the latest technological developments, but the BE curriculum may or may not be updated as regularly. Technical colleges offer a BTech degree, while universities with several courses like BA, BCom, etc. as well, offer a BE. In a practical and real-life sense, both degrees are more or less the same in the Indian context. The approach may differ in some cases, but the course content and further opportunities are the same for both. Make sure to look at the situation in the context of other countries if you are planning to pursue jobs/higher studies abroad.
