The answer would be Yes. One of my friends had completed B.Tech in Instrumentation and Control Engineering from NIT Trichy. The course is definitely tough but the level of difficulty perceived may differ from person to person. And here is some of the information about the course.
Sheer multi-disciplinary nature of subjects :
Involvement in Laboratory activities :
Programming and Analytical skills :
Product design and Development :
Design specification :
These were some of the aspects that make Instrumentation and Control Engineering tough. The course is pretty involved and demanding. Though all these mentioned aspects and skills are required to be a successful Instrumentation engineer.
I have friends pursuing courses you mentioned above at either institute. Based on the discussion I have with them, here is what should be best for you,
However, the fees at BITS Goa are quite a lot.
Admission to these branches is done through rank obtained in IPU entrance examination. However, instrumentation and control engineering is the least preferred branch in BVCOE.
Being a non-CS branch, the placement statistics of Instrumentation Engineering is not good. The level of difficulty of this branch is no less than CS or IT but then studying the course in a domain like Instrumentation Engineering and ending up being at Software Company doing the same as other IT/CS engineers are doing will not take you anywhere.
In the admission process, the basic order followed according to the branches is CSE, ECE, IT or EE, and ICE.
