Ans: Pursuing a B.Tech degree at 28 is a viable and potentially rewarding option, especially if you're passionate about the field and ready to commit to the studies. The key is to build relevant skills, network, and possibly gain experience through internships and online courses during your degree.

Ans: Hello Sai, Good to learn about your motivation to puruse a career in software after obtaining a BTech degree. I hope you have brushed up your school leaving level mathematics. For me to get you speciific details do sahre the name of the city where you are located. Many States will permit you to enrol for an engineering degree program as an exception even though you may not be eligible for a Joint Engineering Entrance Exam. Looking forward to hearing for you soon.
