Yes definitely, you can become a project manager with a B.Tech degree in CSE. I suggest you should do MBA in project management and after few years of experience, you can also go for PMP certification in project management.
B.tech in CSE along with MBA in project management is having a huge scope. NMIMS and IIM are a very good option for project management.
The 2nd option is, you can do a job after B.Tech and after 3 years of experience, you can do an executive MBA in project management-IT and also go for PMP certification.
