Is it necessary to do B.Tech to become a Programmer? Which branches would be ideal for me?

Hi, B.Tech is not necessary to become a programmer but it would help to understand coding logic. You may be successful in programming and development domain even from commerce stream but important how some one understands logic and it's application. It's also true companies prefer to have at least science background and having engineering gets precedence over other.

B.Tech will be good for a programmer but it's not necessary. If your aim is to become a good programmer then you have to stick with your laptop and have to join a coaching institute. You can also take help from YouTube and other good websites like Codechef. I think you should take admission in B.Tech for good career opportunities. Branches like computer science and engineering and information technology will be good for you. Course structure of CSE and IT are designed for programming. Join any good engineering college which has good coding culture. Some of the good engineering colleges for CSE and IT are: 1. Old IITs 2. BITS Pilani 3. International Institute of Information Technology, Hyderabad 4. Delhi Technological University, Delhi 5. Netaji Shubhash Institute of Technology, Delhi 6. National Institute of Technology Trichy 7. New IITs 8. Indian Institute of Information Technology, Allahabad 9. International Institute of Information Technology, Bangalore 10. Birla Institute of Technology, Mesra

Not necessary. You can become a "programmer" just by taking online courses and learning on your own. But a B.Tech helps you in a lot of ways.Firstly, you learn in a much more organized fashion than you would learn on your own. Secondly, you will have a degree that assures that you have some knowledge in that field. Finally, a degree from good college would increase your employ-ability and give you a chance to work for tech giants like Amazon, Google, Microsoft, Facebook, etc. You should go for a B.Tech in computer science engineering. You can also have a look at information technology to see if it interests you. But computer science will be better for becoming a programmer in general. Aim for top colleges including but not limited to IITs, NITs and BITS. Being from NIT, Trichy I would like to share some stats with you. In 2017, hundred percent students from CSE branch were placed. Companies that visited our campus for placements included big names like Amazon, Microsoft, Yahoo, Google and Facebook. So research properly and make a well informed decision.
