Eligibility criteria, colleges and career prospects for Robotic Engineering in India

What are the eligibility criteria for robotic engineering in India? I am a student of XII Science with Physics, Chemistry and Mathematics. Please suggest colleges where I should apply for admission into this course. How good is the scope of this career?

For B.Tech/B.E in Robotics, the candidate must have passed the higher secondary school certificate (10+2) examination with science subject such as biology, maths and chemistry. For admission into IIT colleges, it is compulsory to make the grade in Joint Entrance Examinations (J.E.E). Other entrances that you can opt for are BITSAT, All India Engineering Entrance Exams, and SRM Engineering Entrance Examination (SRM EEE).

These are the colleges where you can apply for excellence in robotics:

• Anna University, Chennai
• Faculty of Engineering and Technology, Jadavpur University, Kolkata
• Birla Institute of Technology, Mesra
• Asia Pacific Institute of Information Technology (APIIT)
• Chandigarh College of Engineering & Technology

There are lucrative job options and extensively widespread scope for students of robotics in diverse industries such as manufacturing, experimental for the military, medical and automotive industries, space research organizations such and also in industries that manufacture microchips. There are great employment opportunities in laboratories, space study, manufacturing industries, mining and organizations and gaming being the most popular employer of robotics engineers. You can work as robotics test engineers or automation system engineers. You will also have the option to get employed as teacher in universities and colleges that offer robotics. You can look for positions of researcher, robotics system engineer, senior robotics specialist, analysts, trainers, robotics technicians, supervisors and assistant engineers in the design and application of robot systems.
