Robotics Scope

For B.Tech/BE in robotics, the candidate must have passed the higher secondary school certificate (10+2) examination with science subjects such as biology, maths and chemistry. For admission into IIT colleges, it is compulsory to attain high grades in the Joint Entrance Examinations (JEE). 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, ChennaiFaculty of Engineering and Technology, Jadavpur University, KolkataBirla Institute of Technology, MesraAsia 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.

I would say it's yet to gain momentum. It would be easier to explain if the question has specialisations in robotics. Robotics has several aspects: mechanics, motor controls, sensors and actuators, vision, computing, and intelligence. There are numerous companies working on these fields individually, but there are hardly few companies working on all of these domains or on a robotic product as such. If you consider Machine Intelligence, you will find several startups and MNCs. They work on amazing fields like machine learning, big data, modelling and planning, but their concentration is not exactly on Robotics but in the fields like finance, stocks, investments, and advertising etc. On the vision and computing part, there are quite a lot of companies working on embedded systems and image processing. They target automobile, consumer electronics, and industrial automation sectors. Working on robotics is a fad in almost every engineering colleges these days. Usually, they build line followers, wall followers or at most a maze solving robots. You can even get a ready to use kits to build these robots. Given that the global players (like Google) are investing in Robotics; increase in amateur robotic enthusiasts. Open source tools and platforms available for robotics, we can be assured of significant development in this field in another 5-10 years. This would need a little push from academia (in including relevant courses) and government (to support set up new industries).
