Thank you very much for the reply. Is there any difference between 5yr Integrated course over 4+2 MTech course?

Ans: Welcome back,
Yes, there are several key differences between a 5-year integrated MTech program and a 4+2 MTech program.
(1) 5-Year Integrated MTech combines a BTech or BE with an MTech degree in a continuous, streamlined format, completed in five years. You enroll once, and the program leads directly to a Master’s without a separate entrance or re-enrollment.
(2) In 4+2 MTech, you complete a 4-year Bachelor’s program and then, if you choose to pursue further studies, apply for a 2-year MTech program separately, usually requiring entrance exams GATE.
(3) The 5-year plan is less flexible than the 4+2 plan.
(4) A 5-year plan is less costly than a 4+2 plan.
(5) Recommended: 4+2 plan as it is aligned with global standards
If money is a constraint, opt 5-year integrated course else go with a 4+2 plan for better opportunities.

Sir My daughter is 11th grade this year and preparing for JEE-2026. My Question is what is weightage of integrated 5yrs MTech over BTech? Which one is more valued in market 5yrs Integrated or 4+2 MTech? Finally how is the 5yrs Integrated AI course in NIT Surat and CSE 5 yrs Integrated in IIIT-DM Chennai?

Ans: Hello Heman.
There is no need to be confused about the 5-year Integrated course or 4-year course. Both types of courses have equal weight in the job industry. Related to the AI course, your daughter can pursue it. You can prefer AI @ NIT over CSE @ IIIT-DM.
It is good to plan for the future, but focusing more on JEE (Main) first is also important. Crack JEE (Main) with a high score and then try to crack JEE (Adv). The doors of all courses will open automatically. Even after taking the JEE examination, the aspirant and parent have ample time to think about the future path. Today's perception always changes based on the marks/scores in the competitive examination. Wishing best of luck your daughter for the upcoming JEE 2026.

Sir I am asking about the 5years vit mtech program and how was the placements and through ipe marks they are considering this so I got 980 in it and what are the benefits to do this .tech and difference between the vit betch and 5years vit mtech program

Ans: The VIT B.Tech program offers a solid foundation in engineering over 4 years with broad exposure and good placements, suitable for students aiming for early entry into the industry. In contrast, the VIT Integrated M.Tech program is a 5-year course that combines undergraduate and postgraduate studies, focusing on advanced technical skills, research, and specialization in emerging fields like AI, Cyber Security, and Data Science. It offers the advantage of a dual degree, better industry collaborations, and enhanced placement prospects. Admission to the integrated M.Tech is based on 10+2 marks without an entrance exam, making it accessible for strong science students. Although it requires an additional year and higher fees, the M.Tech program provides a competitive edge for technical roles, research, and higher studies. For students aiming for deeper specialization, research, and better career growth, the integrated M.Tech is highly recommended. Those seeking quicker industry entry with a broad engineering base may prefer the B.Tech route. Recommendation: Choose the integrated M.Tech at VIT for advanced specialization and research opportunities; opt for B.Tech if you prefer a shorter duration and early career start.

Ans: If you want to do CFA then Branding and Advertising would be a wrong area to chose. It would be better to do general BBA / BMS degree or courses like BFM, BAF, etc. You can spend the money on MBA later.

Is nmims BBA Mumbai worth it? Are placements there good? Or should I do BBA/BMS from normal college and try for MBA (which would be doing regardless)?

Ans: Doing BBA / BMS from some tier 1 institutes in Mumbai would be equivalent to doing BBA from NMIMS. There are better facilities in NMIMS but the fees also is higher. Placement opportunities in some good colleges like Xaviers, Podar, Jai Hind are definitely on par with NMIMS. Anyways he would have to do further education in which case doing BBA or BMS from any good college should be fine.

Sc category rank in IAT is 2100 does he get seat

Ans: With an SC rank of 2100 in the IISER Aptitude Test (IAT), it's unlikely to get admission to any of the older and more popular IISERs like Pune, Kolkata, or Mohali. However, there might be a slim chance in newer IISERs like Berhampur or Tirupati, especially in later rounds of counselling if vacancies remain.

I scored 73333 overall rank in IAT 2025 is there any possibility of getting in any iisers

Ans: With an overall IAT 2025 rank of 73,333, it's highly unlikely to get admission into any of the core IISERs (Pune, Kolkata, Mohali, Bhopal, Tirupati, Berhampur, and Thiruvananthapuram). These institutions typically have much lower cutoff ranks, often below 2,000 for the general category. While a rank of 73,333 is significantly lower than the expected cutoffs, it's still worth exploring options like the newer IISERs or other science programs with lower admission criteria.

Sir I got 7300 rank (was) in IAT. Is their any chance of getting in iiser

Ans: With an IAT rank of 7300, getting into an IISER (Indian Institutes of Science Education and Research) is unlikely for the general category, particularly for the main BS-MS dual degree program. The competition for IISER admissions is very high, and closing ranks, especially for the general category, are typically much lower.
