The Project Management with Engineering Background is a Great Combination. For instance the MBA degree is good to have but not must to have for seeking career in Project Management.
There is a Specific program called PMP certification after the Graduation. You need some training, work experience and pass the examination to get the certification.
The PMP is valid across and also very well recognized. To grow further in this particular field, you may also consider the Program Management as well.
Project Managers are responsible for completing the Project in time, budget and resources. There is come with lot of responsibility of Stake holder management. You should be extrovert and easy going making your client at comfortable position by giving desired work ouputs.
To conclude, PMP certification with Enginering degree may it be any can do wonders.

If you look at big IT companies graduation degree in MTech, ME under CSE or IT specialisation. But again requirements changes and deffers. So if you are looking for a position of a IT project manager be prepared to take responsibility again and also update your skills on regular basis.
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.
