Which course is better in IIITM Gwalior for a 5-year integrated course or a 4-year B.Tech in CS?
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.

What should I go for, IT integrated (5 years) at IIITM Gwalior or CSE at IIITDM Jabalpur?
Having friends studying at both the institutions, I can say that both the colleges IIITDM Jabalpur and IIITM Gwalior are good. It will be a difficult choice to select one among them.
Both the colleges have a good reputation and provide their students with good Infrastructure, faculties, culture, and placements. Here’s discussing some facts about them which might guide you.
IT (Integrated) at IIITM Gwalior:
- If you want to go for higher education then it will take you 1 year less.
- You can pursue M.Tech again after the dual degree from IITs, but not many do that, they go for Ph.D. instead.
- IIITM Gwalior definitely has a better coding culture and alumni network than IIITDM Jabalpur.
- If you think that IT is a lower level compared to CSE then think twice. Placement wise both are at par.
- There may be a bit of difference between the two in the course content but you can nullify it by self-studying.
- You will get to sharpen your skills and work on more projects, learn more things in the one extra year. It never goes to waste.
CSE at IIITDM Jabalpur:
- I would suggest you opt for it if you want to go into the workforce right after graduation and don’t want to spend one extra year.
- Choose it if you want to do higher studies like M.Tech, MS, etc. from other more reputed institutions after 4years itself.
| Categories | IT Integrated at IIITM Gwalior | CSE at IIITDM Jabalpur |
| Course Fee | 6.70 lakhs | 5.29 lakhs |
| Course Duration | 5 years | 4 years |
| Highest CTC | 26 LPA | 22 LPA |
| Average CTC | 15 LPA | 10 LPA |
| Recruiting Companies | Capgemini, Cognizant, Accenture, HCL, etc. | HP, Infosys, Wipro, Dell, etc. |
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.
Is it advisable to opt for a dual degree, say at NIT or IIITM Gwalior or IIEST Shibpur, or only B.Tech at the same institutes? Which one gives more pay and jobs?
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.
