Integrated courses have both advantages and disadvantages.
1) Integrated courses such as B.E+ MBA (5 years), B.Tech + M.Tech (5 years) are considered advantageous over regular B.E+MBA / B.Tech+M.Tech (6 years). Since it saves 1 year, many people would think integrated courses as better option. But, the downside here is, in case of BE+MBA (Integrated) the possibility of doing specialisation in MBA is restricted. The students would be good at Engineering and also would have management skills, yet with no specialisation in a narrow domain of management.
2) Integrated M.Sc. In Computer Science (5 years) has high demand in the job market.
3) The value of the course purely depends on the eminence of the college/university in which the student gets graduated. The integrated courses offered in IITs, NITs and various other prestigious colleges are always highly respected by the industry.
4) Few colleges provide integrated courses similar to student exchange programme. The first two years of the course would be done in an Indian university and the next two years would be pursued in a foreign university.
5) The integrated courses such as B.Tech+M.Tech (5 years) will give more subject knowledge, which are not preferred by many companies. The industries will treat both B.Tech and integrated course graduates on par.
6) Integrated course BE+MBA will make a student more of a generalist, not specialist in management.
7) The BBA+MBA (5 years) from a reputed university is highly valued.
8) LL.M. (Master in Law) has been introduced as an integrated course in India recently. Integrated courses such as B.A+B.L, B.Sc+B.L are already there. These save time and money of the students in general.
9) The students need not prepare for two entrance exams. They can do both UG and PG with one entrance exam.
10) Integrated courses hinder the opportunities to pursue the higher degree in a much more prestigious university than the one where the students pursue their UG.
