Go for this course only if you are really interested in Instrumentation. Otherwise, join some other branch in NIT Trichy so that you are able to learn something.
Both the Delhi Technological University DTU Department of Mathematics and Computing and NSIT Department of Instrumentation and Control Engineering are well-respected institutions with strong programs in their respective fields. Choosing one between the two will depend on your personal interests and career goals.
Ultimately, the final choice depends on your preferences.
NIT Agartala Instrumentation Engineering started functioning in 2009 so isn’t a very old branch. As a result, it does not have a very elaborate faculty and alumni pool.
The infrastructure and facilities are similar to other branches. The lab facilities are great with modern instruments and the professors are very cooperative and student friendly. The placements are decent too but you will have to invest extra efforts to procure the best results. You will require proficiency in a few programming languages, Data Structure, or any other such courses. This will pave your way to getting placed in a top IT firm.
In reality, NIT Agartala's core placement scenario isn’t very bright, and only a handful of around 2-3 core companies visit NITA for Instrumentation. The packages offered aren’t very promising. The last few years, however, have witnessed frequent visits of PSUs, that recruit quite a few students every year. However, getting placed in a PSU requires genuine knowledge about your branch and clarity of basic concepts.
In all, Instrumentation is a decent branch offering a plethora of opportunities given that you are willing to work hard.
Both Chemical Engineering and Electronic engineering will have wide spheres in the future. When looking into the department at NIT Rourkela, Electronic Engineering leads in terms of faculty and placement support.

But if you are into chemistry, then never force yourself into Electronic Engineering. If you are passionate and hardworking, then you can easily crack the exams with a good CGPA. NIT Rourkela offers good placement support for students with a good CGPA, irrespective of the branch. So make a wise decision by giving initial preference to your interest
BTech in Electronics and Instrumentation at NIT Rourkela is a decent program. The primary purpose of this course is to produce graduates having a strong background in basic science, mathematics and electronics, and instrumentation engineering and the ability to use these tools. Anyone with a decent score can get good offers from companies like IOCL BARC.
I asked a few friends about the job opportunities offered in this field.
If you are confident about the field, join it without any hesitation because you will be receiving a plethora of opportunities.
Both of them are excellent engineering colleges that guarantee good academics and placement support for their students. Electrical engineering has ample opportunities in the future, so the institute you choose for your foundational study is very important. The comparisons of IIT BHU and BITS Pilani given below might help you make a wiser decision
Infrastructures and Campus life – BITS Pilani is leading in terms of infrastructures as they have fully furnished buildings and will provide you with a more resourceful campus life than IIT BHU
Faculty and Research – IIT BHU is rich with experienced scholars since it is established many years ago and have the top research units than BITS Pilani
Library and Hostel Facilities – Both institutes offer a good library with a collection of numerous books and provide the best hostel facilities.
Department – BITS Pilani has the best Electrical Engineering department which is among the three institutes in India that has an Oyster Lab facility
Placement – Both institutes give effective placement support to the students
So, it is wiser to choose BITS Pilani for electrical engineering.
