B.Tech Distance Education, also known as BE Distance Education, is a 3-year (lateral entry) or 4-year undergraduate program that provides comprehensive knowledge in various engineering fields, such as Mechanical, Civil, Mining, Computer Science, Aeronautics, and Electronics. It aims to prepare students for careers in engineering by focusing on industryrelevant skills and practical learning. The curriculum and assessment structure of the distance B.Tech program are similar to those of the regular B.Tech course.

This is a question concerning almost every individual who wants to pursue B. Tech through distance education.
To be very clear regarding this matter: "Distance B. Tech is not valid."
The MHRD and Joint Committee of UGC-AICTE-DEC issued notices dated 29-07-2009 and 13-08-2009, respectively, declaring Distance B. Tech as invalid.
However, AICTE has come up with an alternative solution for students, which includes delivering Regular B. Tech through Work-integrated learning programs, part-time mode, or online mode. There are many UGC-AICTE approved universities in India offering alternatives for B. TECH DISTANCE EDUCATION courses.
