There is an abundance of Scope in the Middle East and other Oil rich states for instrumentation engineering. There are many Oil & Gas, Chemical and petrochemical companies who hire Instrumentation Engineers and once you gain sufficient experience(5+ Years) you get paid very well.

You can get into Designing of Plants, Maintenance activities, Or even into Commissioning of New plants.

This stream is sub divided into two parts. 1. Automation and control 2. Design and Detail engineering.

Talking about the salary of Instrumentation Engineers, an average engineer from campus get minimum 30k per month to 50k per month. As experience increases salary also get hike. Highest salaries can go up to 30LPA in India and 60–70LPA in Gulf countries.

Technology is getting advance day by day and nowadays all the work is automated. That’s where we roll in, we’re the engineers who know the art and science of measurement and control of process variables within a production or manufacturing area. We’re basically placed in industries where heat,pressure,fluidity,etc plays the role and as I said the advancement in technology has created a lot of job opportunities for engineers throughout the world in various Mnc’s so technically there is a lot of scope for instrumentation engineers.
