Depending on whether you connect to your router's web interface (assuming it has one - most home ones do), you could try scraping your local IP address from there. As I am using a institute proxy for both wired and > Wi-Fi connections, when I am finding the ip adrress through whatismyip.com, > it is showing same ip address for both wired and wireless. You mention that you are connecting via our institution's network however, so depending on how 'locked down' the network is, connecting to your router may not be possible / the info may not be available without logging in. Perhaps if you have a local webserver (eg, Apache / [W|L]XAMP etc) setup on your machine you could setup a page to display the address of the 'server' (ie, your machine) and then scrape the info from this page whenever you want to check for a change in IP address. Of course, if you do not have a local webserver setup already this is potentially extreme overkill but that would be my first instinct if I were to try it.
