    Re: Confused!

    What do you wish to pursue? Both the fields are good. You can read about the syllabus of the subjects in your college's lesson plans.
    The best person to answer this question for you is you. Ask yourself, and you will get an answer.

    given a chance i would opt for both 😛

    Given a chance I too would go for both! 😀 Both of them are interesting.

    but if I were you, I would have gone for Automobile. I like automobiles and it is an never-ending field. I think for career, it has more oppurtunities than robotics. For higher studies it has more options available too.

    Let us know, what you choose.

    Personally, I won't go for Automobile. Reasons being:-
    1) The syllabus is quite basic. Nothing much. You will learn more than 65% of it in Thermal Sciences and Machine Designs.

    2) More people take up Automobiles, so it is a crowded path/field to be in. It pays to stand out of the flock.

    3) Though both are introductory, the robotics course looks better.
