I completely Agree with Ravi's answer. Focusing on point number 3 here, It is required to go beyond the degree courses and learn specific technology which is in demand. Once you have mastered the skills, then it doesn't matter if you have completed B-Tech/ M-Tech, you will get good opportunities outside.

RAVI’s Answer
As a long term experienced IT professional with an MTech from IITM, I do have perspective about career development that you may or may not agree. It may be worth it to read through.
1. BTech or MTech degrees only get you to the front door step of any IT career, but they do not necessarily open the door. Your knowledge that you acquire in these degrees will not only open the door wide and will welcome you straight into the center hall.
2. So do what you think you can afford both financially as well as time frame, in either getting BTech/MTech degree.
3. Best thing is to learn as much as you can, on your own outside the classroom syllabus about software, technology and trends.
4. Read lot of technical and industry journals. Many are available on line. Read technology section in Yahoo/Google/Youtube/other media outlets daily.
5. Participate in competitions from many industry giants (Intel/Cisco/Dell/AT&T/IBM and others) have lot of competitions throughout the year.
6. Develop good personality - speaking skills, presentation skills, writing skills in addition to the pure software knowledge. After all if you cannot showcase your knowledge, no one can assess your abilities.
7. Opportunities are wide and open. You just have to find them and grab them!
Best wishes for great future and career in IT.

Upanshu’s Answer
My suggestion is to go with 4 years BTech CSE in VIT. This will keep your options open for do masters either in CSE or in any other subject or field from any college in India or outside India
Focus more on learning in college and your own learning with projects, internship, internal college clubs etc.
Thoroughly learn basics during your BTech
Apply basics for GATE or GRE or CAT for Masters.

I would suggest first do only B-Tech. After that you can work for couple of years to get to know about the real work in the industry.
Later you can decide whether you want to continue job or you want to do more specialization with M-Tech.
You can also do that while you are working.
