InAustralia, the Bachelor of Technology degree is offered byRMIT University,Edith Cowan University,[1]Curtin University[2] and certain private institutions.
InCanada, the degree is offered byBritish Columbia Institute of Technology,[3]Thompson Rivers University,[4]Northern Alberta Institute of Technology,[5]McMaster University,[6]Seneca College,[7]Algonquin College,[8] andMarine Institute of Memorial University of Newfoundland.[9]
The degree of Bachelor of Technology in India is an undergraduate academic degree conferred after the completion of a four-year full-time engineering program fromAll India Council for Technical Education recognised institute.[citation needed] The B.Tech. degree is generally awarded byIndian Institutes of Technology (IITs),National Institutes of Technology (NITs) (India),Indian Institutes of Information Technology (IIITs),Government Funded Technical Institutes (GFTIs) or otherCentrally Funded Technical Institutes (CFTIs) andprivate deemed universities in various engineering disciplines such ascivil engineering,chemical engineering,mechanical engineering,electrical engineering,computer science and engineering,electronics and communication engineering,cyber security and many more. This degree is generally equivalent to aBachelor of Engineering offered in otheraffiliated engineering colleges ofstate collegiate universities or a Bachelor of Science in Engineering or Bachelor of Engineering in theUnited States andEurope.[10][additional citation(s) needed]
Eligibility for a B.Tech. program in India typically requires candidates to have completed theirhigher secondary education (10+2) with mandatory subjects such asmathematics,physics,chemistry or other technical subjects.[11] Institutions often set a minimum aggregate percentage requirement, usually 75% and theJoint Entrance Examination (JEE) Main is a prominent entrance exam for B.Tech. admissions, comprising questions in mathematics, physics and chemistry.[12]JEE Advanced is the subsequent exam for those trying to enter the Indian Institutes of Technology (IITs). Admission toNational Institutes of Technology (NITs),Indian Institutes of Information Technology (IIITs), MIT Vishwaprayag University, Solapur[13] otherGovernment Funded Technical Institutes (GFTIs) and deemed universities likeAmrita Vishwa Vidyapeetham,International Institute of Information Technology, Hyderabad are based on JEE Main scores.[14][15][16][17]
TheNational Technology Council (NTC)[14] of Pakistan is responsible for accrediting 4-year technology degree programs in universities. This ensures quality education that meets international standards.
The National Technology Council of Pakistan also maintains a register of technologists with different categories based on qualifications and experience. Graduates with 4-year degrees can register as "Graduate Engineering Technologists" until December 31, 2022. After that, only graduates from NTC-accredited programs will be eligible. Those with 5 years of experience can register as "Professional Engineering Technologist".[14]
InSingapore, the B.Tech. degree program is offered by the School of Continuing and Lifelong Education of theNational University of Singapore through its "Bachelor of Technology in Engineering (BTech in Engineering)" program.[18]
In New York State, the degree is offered by theNew York City College of Technology, part of theCity University of New York. Multiple academic departments of the college offers course resulting in the degree upon graduation.[19]
