| Eligibility criteria | The basic BSc course eligibility is to have at least 50% in Class XII from any recognized board. Some premier colleges ask for 60% marks. The students must have studied core subjects like Maths, Physics, Chemistry and Biology at their Higher Secondary level. | The basic eligibility requirement for admissions to any BTech programme is: Candidates must have passed the class 12 exam from a recognised board with Physics, Chemistry and Mathematics as core subjects. They must also have secured minimum aggregate marks of 60% in the above subjects combined. |
| What is the enterance exam | You can get admission to the college depending upon your marks in your 12th and in some universities you will have to write & clear enterance exam | EAMCET, JEE mains, bitsat exam are some popular exams you can write to get admission into the top BTech colleges |

| Toughness of course | Easy | Tough |
| Type of education | Broad and Theoretical | Practical and Technical |
| Who should choose this | One who is more inclined towards the non-technical part like basic science. More of a researcher. | One who is more interested in the technical part of science like designing, calculating, performing etc. |
| Higher studies | MSc, MBA, MCA, Ms, etc | MTech, MBA, Ms, ME, etc |
| Specialization present | Agricultural psychology animation electronic biochemistry aviation cyber security nutrition fashion designing computer science, etc | Computer engineering mechanical engineering civil engineering aerospace engineering electrical and electronic engineering |
| Career options | Teacher, scientist, software developer, virologist, machine learning expert, data scientist, radio officer nurse, psychotherapist, , nutritionist, programmer, computer analyst, & biostatistian | Teacher, lecturer, software developer machine learning expert data scientist web developer programmer database manager ethical hacker Plant engineers, manufacturing Engineer, Quality Control Technician, etc |
These are all the important differences between the two.
