Is placement of dual degree BTech+MTech(IT) any less than that of BTech IT students at IIIT Allahabad?

There are several sorts of dilemmas regarding the placement of dual degree B.Tech+ M.Tech students in IIIT Allahabad. Here is what I gathered from my friends at the institute.

• For dual degree students, there are enough placement opportunities in IIIT Allahabad. There are a few companies that prefer dual degree students over B. Tech graduates too, as per their own needs.
• Considering the placement strategies of some companies, they consider the dual degree students as overqualified candidates, and so prefer the B.Tech students over them. This is not the case with every company visiting the campus.
• In recent times, the IIIT Allahabad placement committee is trying hard by making formal discussions with companies to allow the dual degree students to participate in internship interviews too, mostly during their intermediate semesters. This will ease the fact of partiality to some extent.

Therefore, considering the factors stated above, it is clear that dual degree students do face problems in some companies’ recruitment drives. But, they do have a good amount of placement overall.
