Instrumentation Engineering
Yes, Calcutta University does have its own TPO now. Here is a link to his profile:- https://www.linkedin.com/in/krishnendu-banerjee-8ba61324
Now coming to placements stats of Instrumentation Engineering for 2020 batch:-
Recruiters were Linde (2 offers), Worley (3 offers), Technip (1 offer), Haldia Petrochemicals (1 offer), TCS (3 offers), Cognizant (1 offer)
Packages ranging from 4 to 6.6 LPA and the median being 6 LPA for core ones. 11/16 students got placed which is not bad amidst this pandemic and considering some CUians do prefer higher studies over job.
Instrumentation Engineers are responsible for designing, developing, installing, managing, and maintaining equipments that are used to monitor and control engineering systems and machinery. They are required mostly in the process, biomedical and chemical industry where measurement & automation plays a crucial role. The demand for Instrumentation Engineers will only be going to increase with the advent of Artificial Intelligence, Self Driving Cars, Robotics etc.
Additionally, Instrumentation Engineering being a circuit branch will easily allow you to switch from core sector to software related roles in product based MNCs which often pays 7 figure CTCs. There are core CS subjects in IE syllabus like Data Structures & Algorithms, Advanced Programming, Software Engineering., Computer Organization & Architecture, Database Management System, and Computer Networks which will aid you further if you wish to do higher studies in CS.
Cheers
If you think placement wise , its definately electronics and communication.
It is better because of the word (communication )( as you also have some courses of coding in it , which most IT companies prefer.)
But in terms of future , it depends on your passion and interest.
Good luck for future!!
Hopefully my answer helps.
