On a forecasted cutoff of 140, which is a crucial portion of the TNEA counselling at Tamil Nadu, there are some B.E./B.Tech Robotics Engineering/Robotics and Automation or Mechatronics colleges in Coimbatore. Namely, PSG College of Technology and Amrita School of Engineering are well-renowned, and usually there are admissions through TNEA and AEEE/JEE Main respectively. Karunya Institute of Technology and Sciences (KITS) by KEE, Sri Ramakrishna Engineering College, Park College of Engineering and Technology (PCET), and Dhaanish Ahmed Institute of Technology are the other available options most of which are also admitted by TNEA. 

At EWS category rank of 380,000 in JEE Main, Admission in IIIT Bhopal is extremely less probable. The cut off rank of EWS category at IIIT Bhopal in the B.Tech level is normally very low, normally between 4,000 to 6,500. Although your branch is not a very competitive one, your ranking is much higher than your past cutoffs. You can think about other universities or see what counselling solutions are at the state-level.

You can start experimenting at your end by trying different AI prompts to execute your daily tasks, like completing your homework in no time, making a school/college project with some out-of-the-box ideas, or generating images for some poster work. You can try your hand on the free ChatGPT version, Claude, Bard, etc., and try to observe AI behavior.

The average Prompt Engineering salary for freshers is around INR 5 LPA to INR 10 LPA which differs on the basis of experience, skill set, recruiter, job profile and the company location. At the beginner level you can get around INR 5 LPA, but with years of experience, you can take home a hefty salary package given the potential of this field in this world of AI technology.

Unfortunately, there are no separate degree courses in Prompt Engineering at Indian colleges, but you can study related courses like CSE, Data Science, or Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning, which cover the basic fundamentals of prompting, NLP, and LLMs. You can further take up online certifications to advance your skills and be a part of projects or internships for future career advancement.

Of course, yes. The Prompt Engineering syllabus is updated regularly to keep pace with the advancing AI technology and its potential to rule the global digital world. As the AI models incorporate smart features and become more advanced, Prompt Engineering strategies also need to be updated, for which the subject modules also reflect changes and upgrades.

The Prompt Engineering coursework is not the same for all online certifications. A few core concepts related to LLMs and fundamentals of AI models can be the same but the course focus differs as well as the study approach and user audience. Beginner level Prompt Engineering courses are more basic and focus on theoretical learning while advanced courses are practically oriented and involve complex reasoning and tasks.

There are various platforms where you can study Prompt Engineering courses with certificate at the end of the course duration. Some top choices include Coursera, Udemy, edX, Simplilearn, Great Learning, Databricks, and Internshala Trainings. Most of the students find these platforms convenient and budget-friendly, and hence they are the topmost go-to options for learning everything about prompting and conversing with AI.
