What is the difference between BE and B.Tech?
The fundamental difference between BE and BTech is the way these courses are delivered. Contrary to the popular misconception, BE isn’t just theory oriented. Both BE and BTech coursework includes theory as well as practicals. But a BTech offers a more in-depth and advanced level study of a particular field. While BE covers the fundaments.
There are no such differences between BE and BTech, other than the course pattern. These two courses are considered equivalent. In terms of preference, your institute will matter more compared to your degree. IIT students certainly enjoy some advantages in terms of placements and higher studies.

What are the minimum passing marks at RGPV University for the BE program?
When it comes to B.E program, there are typically two papers that you will have to deal with at RGPV University: theory and practical. The theory paper usually accounts for 70 marks, and in order to pass it, you will need to score at least 22 marks.

Is there a uniform for BE students in Thapar University?
Some of my friends studied at Thapar University. According to them there's definitely no uniforms in Thapar University.
- However, the first year students who have a 'khaki dress' will have to wear it for workshops.
- This is compulsory not only for BE but the rest of the branches as well.
- As an omnipresent rule for science programs, you'll have to wear a white coat/lab coat for some M.Sc. projects or practicals.
- No need to worry about it being a daily state of affairs.
- At times you'll have to show unity with a uniform as well, such as to affirm your stand for cultures through the Saturnalia and for technical stuff through Aranya.
- These fests include modelling shows and you might want to join in and showcase your skills.
A uniform might be needed for these. Sometimes a faculty member might ask you to be in formals, they do expect that, but no restrictions as such.
