NSUT, Delhi, Delhi, offers B.Tech. in Instrumentation and Control Engineering as a 4-year undergraduate degree. There are 120 seats in each batch. Fees for the full course come to ₹10.5 lakh (roughly ₹2.63 lakh a year).

Expect to spend most of your time on measurement and control: sensors, transducers, process control and industrial automation.

NSUT is a public/government institute, founded in 1983. This page brings together what is on record for this course at NSUT — fees, seats, eligibility, the admission route and placements — so you can judge it before you apply.

Most B.Tech programmes follow a similar pattern: the first year builds the foundations (mathematics, science and programming), the middle years go deep into the subject, and the final year is given over to electives, a major project and usually an internship.

Here that means measurement and control: sensors, transducers, process control and industrial automation. Typical first jobs: instrumentation or automation engineer in process industries. Many graduates also go on to a master's degree.

The exact syllabus is set by the college or its affiliating university and changes from year to year, so ask NSUT for the current semester-wise plan.

The fee figures on record for this course are below. Fees are for the whole course unless marked otherwise, and apply to B.Tech programmes at NSUT as a group.

Colleges revise fees most years, and hostel, transport and exam charges are often billed separately. Confirm the current figure with NSUT before you pay anything.

To get into B.Tech. in Instrumentation and Control Engineering, you usually need Class 12 with Physics and Mathematics, plus Chemistry, Computer Science or another technical subject; most colleges ask for roughly 45–60% in these subjects. The minimum marks on record at NSUT are: X: 0.0, XII: 60.0, Graduation: 0.0.

Admission to this kind of course is usually through JEE Main and state engineering entrance exams. Reserved-category candidates generally get a relaxation in the minimum marks. Check NSUT's prospectus for the exact cut-off this year.

In most years, admission follows these steps:

1. Check that you meet the eligibility above and register for the entrance exam in time.
2. Take JEE Main and state engineering entrance exams and keep your scorecard.
3. Apply to NSUT on its website (nsut.ac.in/en) or through the enquiry form on this page, and take part in counselling if a state or central body runs it.
4. Once you are offered a seat, verify your documents (marksheets, ID, category certificate if any) and pay the admission fee to confirm it.

The most recent placement data we hold (2024) show an average package of ₹17.75 lakh and a highest package of ₹1 crore at NSUT. These are college-wide figures, not only for this specialisation.

Ask yourself — and the college — these questions first:

• Are you genuinely interested in measurement and control? You will spend 4 years on it.
• Can you manage ₹10.5 lakh over the course, plus hostel and living costs? Ask about scholarships and education loans.
• Are the placement figures above good enough for your goals? Ask for the branch-wise numbers.
• How does NSUT compare with other colleges offering B.Tech in and around Delhi?
