Automation and Robotics

The Bachelor of Engineering (BE) in Robotics and Automation is an undergraduate programme designed to equip students with the knowledge and skills required to design, build, and operate robotic systems and automated technologies. Here's an overview:Course HighlightsDuration: Typically 4 years (8 semesters).Eligibility:   - Completion of 10+2 (or equivalent) with Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics.  - Minimum percentage requirement varies by institution (usually 50-60%).  - Admission may be through entrance exams like JEE Main, state-level exams, or institution-specific tests.Core Subjects:  - Robotics Engineering  - Control Systems  - Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning  - Sensors and Actuators  - Mechatronics  - Industrial Automation  - Programming Languages (Python, C/C+)  - Internet of Things (IoT)  - Embedded SystemsKey Skills Developed- Proficiency in programming and designing robotic systems.- Knowledge of automation processes and their application in industries.- Problem-solving and analytical skills for troubleshooting robotic systems.- Hands-on experience with robotic tools and platforms like ROS (Robot Operating System).Career OpportunitiesGraduates can pursue careers in:- Robotics Engineer- Automation Engineer- Mechatronics Engineer- AI/ML Specialist- Research and Development (R&D) roles- Industries: Manufacturing, Healthcare, Defense, Automotive, Aerospace.Top Colleges Offering BE in Robotics & Automation in India1. Indian Institute of Technology (IITs) – Specific branches like Mechatronics.2. Manipal Institute of Technology, Manipal.3. VIT University, Vellore.4. Amrita Vishwa Vidyapeetham, Coimbatore.5. SRM Institute of Science and Technology, Chennai.6. MIT World Peace University, Pune.Future ScopeWith the growth of Industry 4.0, the demand for skilled professionals in robotics and automation is rapidly increasing. Fields like AI-driven robotics, autonomous vehicles, and smart factories present a wealth of opportunities for graduates.

So many institutes offer online Master's programs in areas closely linked to automation and communication. For instance, Case Western Reserve University offers an online MS in Systems and Control Engineering that covers aspects of systems analysis, design, and control, which encompasses automation. Another is the 100% online Master's programme in Systems Engineering: Mechatronics from ECPI University, which focuses again on automation.Courses at these sites provide a cross-disciplinary approach to education and flexible online teaching and learning. More narrow-focused "automation and communication" programs might instead offer modules in control systems, robotics, and mechatronics, all with significant common ground in automation: depending on how some universities have designed the curriculum.

The Guru Gobind Singh Indraprastha University (GGSIPU) East Delhi Campus offers admission into the B.Tech. course in Automation and Robotics, wherein students enrolled there have undergone the JEE Main entrance exam for admission. The course is available to those candidates who have cleared their 12th grade with an aggregate percentage of no less than 55% in Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics and a passing grade in each of the above subjects and English. Admission into B.Tech. through the JEE Main entrance exam is directly possible. When the scores of JEE Main are announced, candidates will be routed through counselling procedures by GGSIPU for access to official admission under the rank and seat positions of available subject courses.
