Both the BE and BTech courses are good courses only. Candidates can choose any one of them after completion of Diploma in Civil Engineering. Candidates can apply for BE or BTech in Civil Engineering after completion of diploma in the same discipline. They are admitted to the second year of the BE or BTech course through lateral entry admission. They have to appear for a lateral entry entrance examination for the admission. The job prospects also same for both BE and BTech courses. Candidates can find jobs in government or private organizations with a BE or BTech in Civil Engineering.
