Should I pursue an Integrated MTech in Software Engineering at VIT AP?

Ans: Keerthi, Please AVOID Dual Degree (MTech) as most Employers / Recruiters (not all) DON'T prefer Fresh-Dual-Degree-Holders. Try to work out Plan B & Plan C for 4-Year Degree with any other top-ranked college with good placement records. All The BEST for your Bright Future.
