Robotics

The best college for B.Tech in robotics all over the world are
University of Pennsylvania.
New York University.
Carnegie Mellon University.
The University of Michigan, Ann Arbor.
Johns Hopkins University.
University of Washington-Seattle Campus.

1)CSE (ai&ml) has a cutoff edge over ise while best part of ise is it does not have any hardware subjects.
2)moreover ise is less recognised while CSE is well recognised all over world.
3) ai and ml is the upcoming future.
4) both departments hod are supportive
5) Their is relaxation in attendance in ise department.

CITD Hyderabad, Brijlal Biyani Science college, Savitribai Phule University are the colleges that provide PGD in mechatronics and as such there are no specific exams for this course but may be required to pass the entrance exam common for all the courses.

A Bachelor's degree in engineering or technology is necessary to be eligible for DRDO.

You cannot learn CS with Robotics in VIT. However you can do CS in VIT which is really good and your child can opt for Robotics course either in America or in Europe as that would be much better.

IIT Madras, IIT Guwahati, IIT Hyderabad, IIT Mandi, IIT Bombay, IIT Kharagpur, and IIT Kanpur are offering Data Science courses.

MA/M.Sc Virtual & Augmented Reality is one of the MS courses in robotics/AR/VR/XR.

Both are good in their own purposes. USAR offers specialisation courses such as Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning and comes under GGSIPU and the intake of students is less (nearly 120). MSIT also offers specialisation in Computer Science and Engineering and has a higher placement score as it is a single university. USAR comes under GGSIPU so, the placements are in IPU campus with much higher number of students. So choose wisely.

Yes, there are robotics and automation labs available for mechatronics engineering at ITM Vocational University.

No, you do not have to complete mechanical, electrical, computer and electronics engineering courses to pursue robotics engineering.
