Pros -
1. You are getting 2 degrees and saving 1 year.
2. You get a lot of time to prepare for Job/Placements, So generally dual people get a better job.
3. Most core companies have the requirement of dual degree for certain job openings.
4. The paygrade of dual degree candidate is a bit higher as compared to B. Tech.
5. You get a little bit of research exposure by doing thesis work.
Cons -
1. If you are planning to go for MBA then its a waste of 1 year except that you get an extra year for preparation.
2. Similar arguments if you are going for non-core jobs too.
3. If you are not into research work you might find the thesis work boring and hectic.
All The Best.
