AMIE, AMIETE, etc. were considered equivalent to B.Tech in the industry. Many of the past AMIE, AeSI, IETE engineers have achieved an exemplary position in the engineering society, but MHRD had issued a circular on 06 December 2012 mentioning that AMIE, AeSI, IETE recognition will be withdrawn on 30th of May 2013. Distance education engineering degree holders will also face problems related to AICTE recognition. A gentle advice after a Diploma holder would be to pursue B.Tech/BE programmes through lateral entry (direct in the second year of the programme), but if you are very keen to pursue distance B.Tech, kindly visit the link mentioned below:
