Robotics

What are the job prospects in Robotics?
There are vast opportunities in both India and abroad.
The various opportunities are:
- Manufacturing of line robots
- building robots for military, medical and automotive industries
Some of the engineers are also consumed in by the labs, plants, mining areas, gaming sector and space exploration centers.
You can also option for teaching in this field.
Some of the job specializations are:
- Controls engineer
- Manufacturing process engineer
- Mechanical design engineer
- Computer engineer
- Automation engineer
The use of robots is expected to increase in the coming future, hence creating more opportunities.
Robotics engineering may lead to potential career opportunities in manufacturing, research and engineering, agriculture, mining, space exploration, power-plant maintenances and a variety of other areas.
There is vast scope for qualified researchers to associate themselves with different segments of R & D in robotics.
Most robotics engineers are employed by private robot manufacturers or robot users.
A student who has an M.E. degree in Robotics can get job opportunities in space research organizations like ISRO.
Job opportunities also exist in Indian Institute of Technology for doing extensive research work in artificial intelligence.
Furthermore, The Indian Institute of Chemical Biology offers openings for research fellowships in Robotics and Artificial Intelligence.
In India, organisations like BHEL, BARC, ISRO and DRDO besides other companies like Tata and Jindal's do recruit robotic engineers.
NASA is the ultimate destination and a dream for a robotics engineer.
Some of the job profiles are:
- Sales
- Trainers
- Analysts
- Researcher
- Supervisors
- Robotics Technicians
- Robotics Test Engineers
- Robotics System Engineer
- Senior Robotics Specialist

Eligibility for B.Tech Robotics Engineering
The candidate applying for the course must complete 10+2/equivalent examination with minimum 55% aggregate in PCM/PCB. The candidates who have completed a diploma in robotics technology or automation technology can also apply for this course through lateral entry. Along with these requirements the candidates are to appear for entrance examinations to get admitted into robotics engineering course.
Admission process for B.Tech Robotics Engineering:
The admission processes vary from institute to institute and/or state to state. Most of the colleges require the candidate to qualify an entrance examination to get admission in B.Tech Robotics Engineering. Candidates who are currently appearing or have completed 10+2 or equivalent examination are eligible to appear for these entrance examinations.
IIT JEE Mains
JEE Main is an all India common engineering entrance examination of the objective pattern which is led for admission in engineering colleges and courses all over the country. It is thought of as one of the most challenging engineering admission tests. JEE main score is used by almost all the engineering colleges across India. IITJEE mains entrance examination for B.Tech and B.E. (Paper I) has an objective type questions with equal weightage to Mathematics, Chemistry and Physics.
SRM University Joint Engineering Entrance Exam: This Entrance Exam is conducted to offer admission into various Undergraduate courses. SRMJEEE is University level examination conducted to offer may engineering courses across four campuses of SRM University. SRM University conducts both Offline and Online exams. SRM University also provides scholarships for the top scorers of SRMJEEE.
Direct admissions:
Direct admission through management quota is offered by almost all the colleges. Government engineering colleges do not offer direct admission due to absence of management quota.
