Hi,

I would suggest the integrated 5 year Mtech degree in VIT because firstly it will save you the trouble of again preparing for GATE exam for doing an MTech degree in case you feel interested in your field of study.

Secondly by doing the integrated degree you are saving one year time which could utilized more productively.

Thirdly in case you feel of doing a Masters after finishing your Bachelors you might get the glamorous idea of doing an MS from abroad which is usually not sponsored unless you join an integrated MS plus PhD program. Basically getting a scholarship for an MS degree abroad is really difficult and is pretty expensive (high dollar value against rupees). You can always look for a student loan to pay for the MS degree but why take all this pain when you can get the Masters degree easily by paying relatively cheaper tuition fees in India.
