IIT Kharagpur B.Tech + M.Tech Computer Science & Engineering: Fees 2026, Course Duration, Dates, Eligibility

In my opinion, an IIT KGP CSE dual degree is a better option than IIT Guwahati CSE. Here’s why

• You get an additional degree in just one or two years
• You don’t have to sit for another entrance exam like GATE 
• Companies that open profiles for BTech also open the same profiles for Dual Degree students.

IIT Guwahati is also a good option for CSE. However, one should opt for IIT Delhi EE only if

You are confident that one will be able to change branch within a year. This is because you will end up studying CS courses with external coaching.

To secure a job, the best options are CSE or MBA. For MBA, your branch does not really matter, only your institute does.

Without any second thoughts, choose IIT Roorkee CSE B. Tech over IIT KGP CSE dual degree because dual degrees are usually less preferred by companies coming for placements.

It’s better to do MTech after BTech than to opt for a dual degree. The main reason is that in Masters you are open to changing your branch in case your interest goes to another field. But a dual degree means you will be studying the same field with no option of changing in between.

Another major disadvantage of a dual degree is that you are not eligible to change your branch to a 4-year program irrespective of your CGPA

You will see your batchmates leaving a year before you and getting offers and settling well before you.

IIT KGP no doubt is older and better than IIT Roorkee in every aspect. But as far as the program is concerned, a dual degree is not worth spending so many years at all.
