Bachelor of Technology (B.Tech) as the name suggests is a technical course of 4 years duration. Post the Covid-19 pandemic, almost all UG and PG courses can now be pursued online and through distance mode. However, the B.Tech course is still not valid in the online or distance modes.
The government of India does not allow B.Tech courses to be pursued in completely online mode or distance mode. This is because B.Tech is a technical course that essentially requires a lot of practical learning through laboratories. So, if there are any colleges offering distance B.Tech to freshers, then that means the degree that they offer is fake and invalid.
However, the term B.Tech in distance education is quite popular. This is because the government has allowed B.Tech in Distance Education only for working professionals under the scheme of the Work Integrated Learning Program (WILP). These programs are not completely in the distance modes but in a hybrid mode.
In this hybrid mode, the classes are conducted either in the evening or on the weekends and holidays to fit the schedule of working professionals. Students have to visit the college to attend these classes. In some cases, the university conducts some online classes for the theory part of the course. The university sends the study material of the course to the students. Some good universities that offer these WILP B.Tech courses even give the facility of remote labs so that professionals from different parts of the country can study without having to relocate.
So if you are a working professional who wishes to upgrade their knowledge to upscale their career, then B.Tech in distance education is just the perfect option. You will be able to upskill yourselves without even leaving your job. It is a great initiative by the government to help professional complete their education who did not get the chance earlier. Computer science distance learning is one of the most popular WILP courses currently.
B.Tech distance education is definitely a great career choice but only when you pursue it from the right place. There are a lot of universities that are not even recognized by the government bodies but offer to provide you the B.Tech degree. Such degrees obtained from unrecognized institutions are fake and stand invalid for jobs.
