Job Opportunities:

Instrumentation and Control Engineering is one of the new and less popular engineering branches in India, therefore, a fewer number of graduates in this field get in the market every year. With this advantage, graduates are offered some really good job opportunities in the electrical, mechanical as well as electronics sector.

Both government, as well as private organisations, hire instrumentation engineers. The prime recruiters in this field are robotics and automation sector that offer bright career opportunities. These are some of the fields where there is a huge requirement for Instrumentation and Control graduates.
