What is the scope of instrumentation engineering? Which companies recruit in this branch?

If I were cheeky enough, I would say, the sky is the limit. But, being a practical person, and an engineer by training, and after tending to server and computer systems for about 15 years, I should know better. Instrumentation offered me (in the late 90s) an opportunity to learn about transducers, industrial process control, and all sorts of instruments in all walks of life. The most interesting types were mechanical transduction instruments (flow meter and the like). These formed the basic building blocks in all major instrument systems. Now, computer chips are everywhere. Transducers have changed. You have sensors for everything, and most are affordable. GPS modules make it possible to monitor any parameter anywhere in the world (sic) while sitting in your home. And whats more, you can access it on your Android/mobile. On the practical side, the field jobs strongly favour males. Working conditions, though improved, are often not office-like enough. so, its hugely different from an eye-tea job. The pay is also less when you start out, but becomes good enough soon. From what the newer graduates are saying, the job opportunities for core instrumentation jobs are high, and will stay high as it is a crucial part of any system 'especially cars and in industrial processes'. You will also get lots og opportunities for higher education and PSU jobs (think GATE). I did qualify for GATE, and preparing for this exciting exam will round off your undergraduate studies in Instrumentation (something like 610 core Instrumentation papers, depending upon the college). It is a nice branch to study Engineering.
