Dual degree programs are a combination of B.Tech and MS by research. The concept of MS in India is inspired by foreign institute, as outside India only MS is offered as a PG programme. The chances of getting a Ph.D. will be higher for MS students compare to M.Tech student for the below reasons
MS is a research oriented course so after doing MS you will have a clear vision about research and your interest area. Most people have 2-3 good publication during MS, which make their chances of getting good Ph.D. much-2 higher. Outside India M.Tech does't exist only MS is popular, so they will prefer a familiar degree rather than a unfamiliar one while taking admission. I am not very sure about approval from AICTE and government. Jobs, but I think MS peoples are eligible at most of these jobs as they have a PG degree from a reputed college.

IIIT Hyderabad is a private institute run by a private body whose full-form is International Institute of Information and Technology, so it has a distinct mode of admission.
On the other hand, other IIIts are institutes run by the central government whose full-form is Indian Institute of Information Technology.
Therefore, their admission is purely based on JEE Mains score. Hope it helps you.

You will notice the main difference in IIITH and most of the other engineering colleges (except IITs and possibly some NITs/Jadhavpur) is the focus on research. You should find out about NIT-Trichy too. Research exposure is the thing which will make you stand above as compared to other engineers. If somebody has two offers and not exceptionally different (then choice is obvious), personally I feel taking one closer to your home is always better. But it's an individual preference to give priority to ranking or priority to other things.
