In todays IT-centric world, it only becomes natural for those studying engineering
to focus more on IT-related branches of study rather than the other engineering
streams. However, do remember that Indian engineering also has scope beyond
Information Technology Enabled Services (ITes). In fact, experienced engineers
consider other branches as evergreen; and not dependent on western economies.
One such engineering study stream is Instrumentation Engineering also called as
Instrumentation Technology (INS).
We spoke to several career experts, and those who even hire, about various aspects
related to Instrumentation Engineering in a bid to enable budding engineers and
fresh engineering graduates to make informed decisions and to debunk myths
surrounding INS. One popular myth that has been doing the rounds of late is
Instrumentation Engineering does not exist anymore in certain states; the branch
has been merged with Mechanical Engineering.
Apart from the above, experts also feel that jobs at small scale industries have also
been seeing consistent demand. Salary package offered here lies in the Rs 2 lakh
Rs 3 lakh per annum range advises Dr Ali.
Students currently pursuing Instrumentation feel that the above numbers are good
to start-off with. Most of the students we spoke to felt that they wanted a good
career hold in the reputed Indian manufacturing firms, rather than get placed in a
foreign MNC.
A job at an Indian factory is better than a high-paying foreign MNC opening; focus
is on Make In India and progression of our economy, rather than money-making.
was the general sentiment echoed by Instrumentation students spread out across
engineering colleges in Karnataka.
In case you are a fresh Instrumentation graduate preferring to work abroad, you
have something over there as well. With a salary of 20-30 lac per year, many of the
overseas placements tops the list. adds Aishwarya.
Our firm is on top of the minds of instrumentation engineers who even take up
internship opportunities intending to later get absorbed. stated a senior recruiter
at one of the top instrumentation companies in Bengaluru.
AI is one sector where engineers from all major streams can collaborate and
research, states Bastin Robin- chief data scientist at Bangalore-based Hash
Research Labs; an IoT startup company.
