What is the difference between B.TECH and B.Eng?
Literally there is no difference. Students, pursuing B Tech learn same courses as B E students. However, I have seen institutes with a big reputation call it B E where as private colleges call it B Tech. Students in the same counselling get admission….more
It is just a differentiation between the Full-time and Part-time Engineering Degree in NUS. Our part time course is catered more to the working class people, who want to upgrade themselves and still have the choice of keeping their current job. The academic foundation and background of this group of students are different from those of ‘A’ level students and thus their needs are also different. Therefore, unlike the full-time B.Eng courses in the Faculty which caters primarily for students with ‘A’ level backgrounds, the B.TECH courses are specially designed for students with a polytechnic background. As such, in the earlier years, the curriculum of the B.TECH courses is somewhat different from that for the B.Eng. However, to ensure comparable graduation standard, almost all the courses in the later 3rd and final year of the B.TECH programme are the exactly the same as those for the B.Eng with students from both groups sitting for the same examination papers and graded in the same way.
