B.Tech CSE from IIITM Gwalior will be a better option compared to integrated IT. B.Tech courses are more flexible. You will have the freedom to choose your field of interest after graduation.

You should surely take the 5-year course because it is quite convenient. You will get really good placements with the 5-year course. Additionally, with the 4-year course being just newly introduced, the placements will take some time to develop. The IPG faculty is very good as compared to the B.Tech faculty who are novices.
Moreover, you will also save an entire year. If you are interested in coding, you will get an extra year to hone your skills and improve them which would eventually lead to better placements. So between the two, choose the five-year course.

I would suggest you do your side of the research too and ask other alumni for a better perspective because ultimately it is your decision.
I would recommend you to go for a B.Tech course rather than a dual degree program if you are expecting to get hired after the completion of your engineering.
Companies prefer candidates who are graduates a little more than post-graduates when it comes to recruitment for jobs. Also, choosing a dual degree program would mean that you will be spending one extra year in rigorous coursework and projects. Projects that are there in the curriculum of Post Graduate Programs can be pretty hectic and could weaken your spirits especially at times when you see your friends graduating and getting job opportunities from companies.
However, if you have plans to spend more time in the academic fields then I would suggest you consider a dual degree for your career. A dual degree can help you a lot in your higher education. If you can qualify for competitive examinations like GATE, then you will be eligible to get a monthly stipend for pursuing M.Tech for 1 year.
The final choice is in your hands as you would have to consider the pros and cons of both the programs. You can perform further research and analysis to make the final decision for your Career.
