What is the difference between BE and B.Tech or ME and M.Tech

A quite Sunday; and a post on education. Literally boring, isn’t it? It so happened with a small talk. A telecon with my lil’ sister.

I was talking with my younger sister in the morning and got a hiccup when she asked me about the difference between B.E and B.Tech. Thank God, my brain was working that time and wasn’t sleepy (which generally happens to this 250gm substance in the lazy Sunday morning) and I could utter the basic difference.

Later on I thought of typing few lines about it. Hope it may prove worth reading for some naïve.

A common question among engineering students and usually a question of argument between friends is what is the difference between B.Tech (Bachelor of Technology) and BE (Bachelor of Engineering), which is better or have better scope. Similarly for M.Tech too, what is the difference between M.Tech and ME. I will try to present a reasonable and valid difference between these two.

First please note that there is NO DIFFERENCE between these degrees in terms of value and scope. BE and B.Tech have similar scope and future and on the same time ME and M.Tech have same scope future.

Now let’s dig the question little deep. If BE and B.Tech or ME and M.Tech have same value and scope why the names are different.

Right after independence of India we have two types of universities, one that offers degrees in many fields like Sciences, Arts, Education and Engineering too, and the second set of universities (were named as institutes) offer only degrees in engineering. Universities those offer other degrees along with engineering named their engineering degree as BE (Bachelor of Engineering) and Institute constituted for only Engineering studies named their degree as B.Tech (Bachelor of Technology).

Now as AICTE approve courses most of the courses are same and identical for BE and B.Tech. The universities those offering BE when started new courses named them to B.Tech too.

No degree, BE or B.Tech and ME or M.Tech is superior other others in terms of theory or experiment. BE and B.Tech or ME and M.Tech are same. Both of them are same and have similar scope and future. If there is some notification for BE, B.Tech’s are also eligible to apply and vise versa.

Hope I am not confusing. If you have better explanation, please feel free to leave tour comments. 

Steve Jobs’ Stanford speech: Stay Hungry. Stay Foolish

Steve Jobs' commencement address at Stanford University in 2005 is one of his most quoted speeches. It has been described as 'life-changing' and 'career-transforming'. Here's an edited excerpt:

I am honored to be with you today at your commencement from one of the finest universities in the world. I never graduated from college. Truth be told, this is the closest I've ever gotten to a college graduation. Today I want to tell you three stories from my life. That's it. No big deal. Just three stories.

Always hungry for more

After his successful campaign for the Jan Lokpal Bill, Anna Hazare is now targeting electoral reform to curb corruption. While politicians were his main target, few realised that it was the bureaucrats who had enabled the politicians to abuse the system. The war on corruption needs drastic



administrative reforms to curb the enormous power of the petty babus. The good intentions of prime ministers, the commitment of good officers and the draconian powers of emergencies and ordinances can all be sand-papered to death by these millions.
According to 2007 data, India today has about 5,600 IAS officers who, with about 80,000 category 1 officers, are supposed to manage some 18 million babus. For the common man, the government is the tehsildar, thanedar, patwari, dealing assistant and inspector - officials who have few compunctions about fully exploiting the opportunities provided by their positions.

There is no Indian who has not witnessed the tyranny of these 'chhota babus'. The village patwari does not work only to earn a small government salary. The fate of valuable properties, inheritances and taxes are often decided by his little notings. Thus, laws may be passed, rules issued in gazettes but all of it might become ineffectual in his hands. No order can be signed by a senior administrative officer unless the file has been prepared and put up by the clerks in the concerned section. A typical file has to move slowly from a dealing assistant to a section officer, divisional clerk, deputy secretary, under secretary, joint secretary, secretary to a minister and then back down that ladder before orders can be issued. A file may need 50 or more clearances so it is not surprising that applicants must have agents to speed their files through the labyrinth.

Bollywood and Plagiarism: Bollywood movies find its lost brother in Hollywood

“Copying is an art to sell the shoe twice to the same customer.” I don’t know who said this line. May be me.

Hollywood movies play the role of a guide for some movie makers in Bollywood. Not only the tune of the music, bit by bit, but the scripts and screenplay of most Bollywood movies are copied from Hollywood movies. Directors like Sanjay Gupta and Vikram Bhatt are called DVD directors.

But I must say, there have been smart Bollywood movies like Aradhna(1969), Sholay(1975) Raaz(2000), Baazigar(1993), Munnabhai MBBS(2003), Rang De Basanti(2006) and Race(2008), which portrays more authenticity than the original score. Whereas, some Bollywood movies copy Hollywood movies scene by scene.

Here is a list of Bollywood movies lifted, inspired or copied from Hollywood films.

2011: Growth in Telecommunication and impact on Society

Telecommunication can be defined as the transmission of information, over significant distances, for the purpose of assimilation and understanding. Whether it’s a rural area devoid of basic facilities or an urban area with all sophistication at the finger tips, its impact on social, cultural and economic horizons of the society is immense. 

Economic impact:

The evolution of e-commerce and the subsequent ease of transactions led to a completely new experience in banking, online retail and customer servicing. For example, the success of Amazon, Walmart and eBay has led to a revolution in the world of online retail. It is projected that in the next two years, more than 50% of the global population will have access to such transactions.

Gmail: Free E-mail hosting for new web domain

Hello World,

This is not for the amature, but for the naive who want to host their E-mail after creating a new web domain for their organization or for personal use. Gmail offers free hosting service for e-mails and has many very good properties. For this domain,  http://saktishree.in/, I was on a search for a good mail serving service which will not cost too many and will work better. After alot of research I found that Google (gmail) is offering to handle your mails for domain name holders. This is the link, www.google.com/a, by which you can apply for google to host your mails and google will also offer you the properties of stardart users have (like chat, docs and talk etc.).

I am using it and it is working perfect. Thank you Google.
