BTech Syllabus: Important Facts

The four-year program is divided into 8 semesters if applied after the 12th. However, it is a three-year program when enrolled after a polytechnic certificate.

Rather than focusing just on theoretical knowledge, the engineering program emphasizes equally on practical and laboratory-based learning. Theoretical knowledge is limited in engineering graduation programs. So the Syllabus of BTech comprises core, elective, and lab subjects.

Is B.Tech for Working Professional with Flexible Timing AICTE Approved?

Core Subjects: BTech Core subjects are those engineering subjects that learners have to study regardless of their specializations. In other words, all students enrolled for any specialization have to cover core subjects.

BTech Flexible Time Program

The BTech Distance program is strictly forbidden by UGC and AICTE, regulatory bodies. However, apart from BTech Regular, there are the BTech flexible problem courses that are introduced for the convenience of the learners who are unable to commit to the Regular BTech degree program.

Check the options available for such eager learners:

BTech Part Time: According to the guidelines of the UGC, it is mandatory for the students to attend the classes if anyone is enrolling for the BTech Program. Suppose, a student can’t attend the class at regular time. For them, evening or weekend lecturers are organized. When it comes to duration, the b tech part time program is a 3-year course as they are straight away admitted to the 2nd year and the syllabus is similar to the BTech Regular.
BTech After Diploma: The B.Tech After Diploma program is a ray of hope for the applicants holding a Diploma certificate in engineering to learn advanced skills and earn higher salaries. The duration of the engineering and technology program is 3 years. They have the privilege to get admission directly in 2nd year as they have completed their diploma plus have working experience.
BTech for Working Professionals: A BTech degree can be earned by working professionals having diploma certificates and working experience of a minimum of 2 to 3 years. Such professionals can balance their higher education and employment commitments when enrolling in the BTech for Working Professional program. These applicants can complete the course in just 3 years as they have a valid diploma certificate or equivalent degree.

BTech Syllabus and Subjects for BTech Flexible Program

Similar to the BTech Regular Courses, the BTech Flexible Course syllabus consists of Core, Elective, and Lab subjects. All over India, engineering universities and colleges pay attention to the CBCS course structure that is guided by UGC.

Therefore, basic core subjects are the same as Mathematics, Physics, Mechanics, and Chemistry. Electives are based on individual preference, what specialization they have chosen for themselves. And based on that lab subjects are allocated to students. The BTech curriculum structure is:

Core BTech Subjects
Elective BTech Subjects
Lab B Tech Subjects
Internship
8 semesters (unless you enrolled for BTech After Diploma)
Project Submission

Conclusion

Students who apply for the BTech graduation program after the 12th or polytechnic certificate have to study the same syllabus and they are also awarded the same degree. The difference is that polytechnic diploma holders have foundation knowledge about the program unlike 12th pass-out students, hence they are promoted to the 3-semester of the graduation program.

FAQs (Frequently Asked Questions)

BTech specialization in Electrical Engineering gives weightage to subjects like control systems, circuit design, power systems, electrical measurements, and signal processing. This program of engineering works on developing equipment, devices, and systems that are used for electronics, electricity, and electromagnetism.

The admission guidelines are simple for the students to enroll for BTech WILP or BTech Lateral Entry. An applicant must have a polytechnic diploma certificate and a minimum of 3 years of experience to apply for the program and get the undergraduate degree. They may or may not have to appear for the entrance exam depending on the university they are applying to. Renowned universities like Shri Venkateshwara University and Lingaya's Vidyapeeth have no admission test.

If aspirants are aiming for the top national and state-level colleges for the Lateral Entry program, then they have to apply for the admission test. Some Entrance Exams for BTech Lateral Entry are Haryana LEET, JLEE, and DTE Kerala. However, when looking for a university that allows access to the BTech Lateral Entry program without any admission test are Lingaya's Vidyapeeth and Shri Venkateshwara University.

The Bachelor of Technology curriculum includes elective subjects, core subjects, and lab subjects to provide theoretical and practical knowledge based on the specialization.

Chemistry is the main core subject of the BTech. The BTech Chemistry syllabus includes theories related to Energy & Kinetics, Bonding Models & properties, Rodex & electrochemistry. Apart from this, Industrial & Bio-inspired chemistry and molecules are associated with our daily life.

Generally, the subjects are similar in the first year of the engineering program. The subjects consist of Physics, Mathematics, Chemistry, and Engineering basic course subjects.

After a diploma certificate in engineering, students can enroll for an undergraduate Regular BTech degree program. There are numerous choices in front of the learners to register for the BTech WILP program from IITs, Lingaya's Vidyapeeth, Shri Venkateshwara University, and BITS Pilani.

Data science, artificial intelligence, machine learning, and cloud computing are in vogue. So it is wise to choose BTech in disciplines that are related to artificial intelligence, information technology, and computer science.
