Mechatronics is a specialization in Mechanical Engineering which is used to create and maintain robotic structures using the principles from Mechanical Engineering. Few colleges offer this course as a degree course in B.Tech and few as a post graduate course in M.Tech. I would suggest doing B.tech in ME and then specializing in Mechatronics as Mechanical provides you ample of opportunities if you ever change you mind for Mechatronics. The job opportunities in this sector are few but it is fine as the number of Mechatronics engineers is also less as compared to other branches. You can find job opportunities in Electronics, Automobile, Manufacturing, mining, transport, defense etc. You may also find opportunities in Army, the Navy and the Air force and organisations like the Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) and Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO). Some of the profiles you can work for are -Industrial Robots (Operation and Maintenance) and Automation related areas.Avionics and Aeronautics.
Industrial systems and Process control like on PLCs and pneumatic control.
This is just some of the ideas I can get now, there can be more opportunities out there.

Production engineering is a unique branch which includes engineering and management both. It is required in many sectors as such. The main job opportunities are asfollowing -
1) Almost all automobile Companies: One of the best place to work for PE
2) Some PSU companies even hire specially for PE, like Vishakhapatnam Steel. But seats are very less.
3) Some PSU Companies hire as a mechanical engineer either through GATE or their own written exam like SAIL, GAIL, BHEL, NTPC etc.
The roles offered in production are generally as following -
1.) Quality
2.) Purchase & procurement
3.) Production / shop floor engineer
4.) Maintenance engineer
5.) Logistics & stores
6.) Design & product development etc
7.) ERP stream (SAP, Oracle, other ERP software's) etc.
There are more roles offered than this. This is just the general list.
Try to get into IITs, NITs or other CFTIs for B.tech and then appear for GATE for post-graduation or for jobs in PSUs. For studying abroad appear for GRE and TOEFL. Consider all available options before making a decision.

There are tons of government engineering colleges in Haryana. Before taking admissions in any private colleges one must check some procedures and in the given below list of Government colleges in Haryana:
First, check that which college is affiliated to which university.
Second, check that to college is affiliated by UGC.
Third. check that college has a high rate of placement jobs from the campus. After checking these conditions one must take this as options for the colleges.
List of Government colleges in Haryana are as follows:
National Institute of Technology, Kurukshetra
YMCA University of Science and Technology, Faridabad
Deenbandhu Chhotu Ram University of Science and Technology
Guru Jambheshwar University of Science and Technology, Hisar
Chaudhary Devi Lal Institute of Technology
Kurukshetra University

Hi,
As one of my friends is currently pursuing this course from NSIT, I think I can relate to this question much better.
MPAE is not a new branch, it was introduced a few years back. Well, the course is much similar to that of mechanical engineering but not completely same.
Competition for tech. jobs in this branch is very high as mechanical students also sit for the same companies. Competition is very tough in non-technical companies too because all branches are allowed to sit in these companies. MPAE is a great branch with ample of opportunities for every hardworking student.
If you are aiming for GATE then this is not the right branch for you, since GATE is only eligible for those who are in core branches, and MPAE is not a core branch.
Since syllabus of MPAE is very interesting and research oriented most people opt for foreign universities.
Renowned automobile companies like Toyota, Maruti, Hero, Honda, Mahindra visit campus for placements.
Talking about the highest package offered to MPAE student was 40 LPA by Schlumberger in the year 2015.
And the average package is 8-10 LPA (Only a few percent of students placed from MPAE batch).
So you can expect a total of 50-60% students get placed in both tech/non-tech companies. The rest percent choose to go for higher studies or remains unemployed.
I hope this helps you.
