In scientific terms, instrumentation is defined as the art and science of measurement and control of process variables within a production, or manufacturing area. The science has further opened up the realm of instrumentation engineering.

Instrumentation is a multi-disciplinary stream and covers subjects from various branches such as chemical, mechanical, electrical, electronics and computers.
Instrumentation engineering is a specialized branch of electrical and electronic engineering and it deals with measurement, control and automation of processes. Apart from covering core subjects such as industrial instrumentation and process control, bio-medical instrumentation and robotics, the students deal with software and hardware topics such as microprocessor and micro controller based instrumentation, VLSI and embedded system designs, computer architecture and organisation and computer control of processes.
Computer languages such as ‘C' and C++ are also part of the curriculum. This makes an instrumentation engineer fit for both the hardware and the software industry. Moreover, since instrumentation engineers are presumed to be good at solving problems, the analytical ability is expected to be on the higher side, which is a basic quality needed to excel in the software industry.

The demand is so high that every student finds at least two jobs waiting in the wings, by the time he or she completes her course
Nature of work of an instrumentation engineer ranges from designing, developing, installing, managing equipment that are used to monitor and control machinery.

Just imagine a world without instruments. It would be like traversing into a time that probably goes even beyond the Stone Age. Man has always been fascinated towards instruments and the quest to invent and innovate on new instruments has pushed mankind beyond barriers to an age where instruments have become a part and parcel of the life. Today, we find instruments at home and at workplace, and this was possible only because of the science instrumentation.
Reasons of opting for this career:
1. An instrumentation engineer is basically needed in every industry as every industry is somehow or the other instrument based.
2. Lesser competition in all India exams like GATE, as there are few people taking up this course and fewer colleges giving this degree.
Coming to the Jobs prospects:
• PSUs recruit through GATE. One can appear for GATE in 'Instrumentation paper’ and make himself eligible to apply for PSUs like NTPC, IOCL, BPCL, GAIL, ONGC, etc
• You get placed in electronic companies like Texas Instruments, Cadence Design systems
• There are also companies, which come looking for Instrumentation engineers in particular, like Foster-Wheeler, CAIRN India, LINDE, etc.
• Moreover during Campus placements E & I guys are generally allowed to sit in almost every type of company that are coming for recruitment : From Coding to Consultancy, Financial services to Decision Sciences...almost all.
Electronics and Instrumentation is certainly a broad subject to study and you can choose your career in different areas :
 If you are very good in controls and have interest in it, you can try as a control engineer in different industries like Refineries, Nuclear Reactors, Process Industries etc mainly which ever involves Manufacturing or Production.
 Automation, DCS and SCADA is another area which is a potential career option.
 If you find controls part difficult and dont want to get into it then you can choose a career in pure electronics without involving any control stuff (Like VLSI Design engineer, Digital Design Engg etc).
 A career in embedded systems is always an option.
 Another interesting field which you can get into is Microelectronics or even MEMS( But this might require a Masters Degree or PhD). You can also try in companies like Yokogowa and others which are into manufacturing of sensors and other measurement devices(proper instrumentation stuff this is).
