Imy son has got seat in VIT mechatronics and will also get in amrita robotics , pl suggest which college and branch will be good

Ans: Prefer CSE with VIT over Robotics & Automation. However, it depends upon your Son's interest, his aptitude, attitude, personality traits & his orientation style. If he is more interested in Robotics/Automation, he can go for it. Electronics is comparatively tougher than CSE. Whatever Institute / University & Branch your son chooses, he should keep upgrading his skills from his 1st year itself till his Campus Placement during your last year, from NPTEL, Internshala etc. and / or any other online platforms, recommended by his College Faculties, to be COMPETENT among other Students.

All The BEST for your Son’s Bright Future.

Ans: Hirdesh Sir, Your son’s interest in Mechatronics versus choosing Electronics and Communication Engineering (ECE) depends on his passion and career goals.

Mechatronics is multidisciplinary, blending mechanical, electrical, computing, and control engineering, ideal for those fascinated by robotics, automation, and smart machines. It offers promising careers as robotics engineers, automation engineers, and control systems experts, with growing demand in automotive, aerospace, healthcare, and manufacturing sectors. Entry-level salaries start around ?5 LPA, rising to ?10 LPA+ with experience. Top recruiters include Amazon, Apple, and GE Healthcare.

ECE covers electronics, communication systems, embedded systems, VLSI, and IoT, offering broader job opportunities in telecom, IT, consumer electronics, and research. ECE graduates enjoy diverse roles and steady job growth, with strong placement packages and industry demand.

Recommendation:
If your son is passionate about robotics, automation, and integrated systems, Mechatronics at reputed institutes like Amrita or VIT Chennai is ideal.

For broader career options and higher placement potential, ECE is a safer and versatile choice.

Both fields have excellent prospects; the final choice should align with his interests and long-term goals. All the best for your admissions and a bright future!
