Yes, you can potentially leave IIIT Hyderabad after completing the BTech portion of the integrated program, but you may not receive a BTech degree. The specific details depend on the admission route (LEEE or UGEE) and the IIIT Hyderabad regulations.

LEEE Admission:

If you were admitted through LEEE (Lateral Entry Entrance Examination), which allows direct entry into the second year of the BTech program, you are eligible to leave after completing the BTech requirements without pursuing the MS program.

UGEE Admission:

If you were admitted through UGEE (Undergraduate Entrance Examination) and choose to leave after completing the BTech, you may still be awarded a BTech degree, but you would not be able to pursue the MS portion of the dual degree.

IIIT Hyderabad Regulations:

It's crucial to check the specific regulations of IIIT Hyderabad regarding the dual-degree program, as they may have specific rules about exiting after completing the BTech, as noted in the dual-degree program information from the IIIT Hyderabad website.

Dual Degree Benefits:

A dual degree (BTech + MS) is generally considered to have better career prospects than a standalone BTech degree from IIIT Hyderabad.
