Why Robotics & Automation

The curriculum is designed with industry input to ensure graduates are market-ready, aiming to develop engineers who can engage with cutting-edge technologies across disciplines, communicate effectively with professionals from varied technical backgrounds, and work proficiently across programming, electronics, electrical systems and mechanical design.

The key objective of the Program is to create engineers capable of

The employment opportunities for graduates of the BTech program in Robotics and Automation are immense and include:

  • Robotics and automation companies
  • Automotive industries
  • Manufacturing and processing sectors
  • Biomedical equipment industries
  • Emerging startups benefiting from government incentive schemes
The department frames this against a strong national tailwind: the Government of India has prioritised robotics as a strategic technology area, and industry analyses point to substantial growth in robotics careers, with competitive compensation and diverse roles emerging across sectors.
