There is nothing called instrumentation engineering. The students usually study the syllabus of the electronic branch that includes learning low-level languages along with the complete command of them. 

• There is a very high demand for highly skilled engineers who know the top programming languages like TopCoder, GitHub, and many more. 
• Learning these languages totally depends upon the person that they can do without going to college.
• Becoming an electronics engineer totally depends upon the person, and their effort, not the college. 
• Some of the students follow the GATE syllabus to enter into the government sectors. 
• Some get recruitment in top private companies by learning these programming languages. The college can help you out only by giving a proper study environment that can promote your overall development. 

If you wish to join the private sector, then only the placement facility provided by the college is useful to you.

Last but not least we can say that the college for the instrumentation branch is the version of the electronics branch of engineering. It totally depends on you how much effort you are putting into the same and not depend on the college.

Choosing a particular college or a department actually depends on you, and how you want to shape your career ahead. Having known some people who study in both these institutions, I can say that they all have their fair share of strengths and weaknesses. 

I might not be able to help you select one among them, because they are both good in their own ways. So, I will share some information about them which might help you make the choice.

• ECE at IET Lucknow has one of the finest faculty. They also have a great student crowd.
• HBTU also has highly experienced faculty members.
• Placements at HBTU are also much better than IET Lucknow.
• The enrolled candidates of the GATE exam are really great.
• They also offer a vast alumni network unlike IET.

It is suggested that you go for the more experienced institute, as it will prove to be better for your career ahead. You will get to learn new skills and take part in seminars and industry visits, to get a slice of the corporate world.

Having known some people studying in these colleges, I can tell you that both colleges are really good in their own ways. But, you should consider the following before you make any decision:

• KJ Somaiya has slowly improved over the years and now is considered much better than Mumbai University (MU).
• Vivekanand is known to keep track of attendance which is not the case with KJ Somaiya.
• If you are considering doing Electronics, you should know that Electronics and Telecommunications has an upper edge.
• The exams at KJ Somaiya are tougher than MU. This is because MU repeats a lot of previous years’ questions.
• You will get a 5 day holiday in MU before a semester paper. At KJ, you will only get a day or two. Therefore, at KJ, your exams will be hectic.
• The semesters end pretty quickly at KJ as opposed to MU. 
• MU students only get one month’s leave after a semester ends. For KJ, this leave is for 2 months. 
• You can utilize this time to look for internships and other activities that will help strengthen your resume.

• Electronics has a few subjects like digital communication which might overlap with telecommunications.

Both the colleges are even. It will finally depend on where your interests lie and what you would like to do. Find out if you are more interested in telecommunications or just core electronics, then choose accordingly. 

Electronics will teach you more about electronic components, circuits and other basic ideas that might be required in general electronics. Telecommunications will only give you a deeper understanding of communication technologies.

Electronics and Instrumentation and Electronics and Communication are a part of the electronics department. Both the branches are perfect in their place. Since I have some friends studying Electronics and Instrumentation Engineering at IET Lucknow, I might be able to answer your question.

• If you look at the campus placements then it is not as good as CS, IT, etc. branches.
• The packages offered to some students of EI are also not good. (about 3 lac average.)
• But in the GATE exam, every year many students of EI secure good ranks, and even toppers are from IET Lucknow.
• For example, in the 2016 gate exam, Monti with AIR-4 & Vipin Sukla sir had secured AIR-18 and he graduated from IIT Bombay.

The course is good but the placement stats are not very good. If good placement is what you are searching for as the main parameter then you may consider other options.

Some of the facts are listed below to help you understand which one is better in taking admission.

1. SGSITS has its brand name. No one even knows about the institute about IET-DAVV; generally, the students who are staying outside of Madhya Pradesh.
2. There are not enough differences in the syllabus of these two institutes. And for this reason, you have to study yourself to perform better.
3. If you want to pursue higher studies, then seats are limited in the good colleges for instrumentation. For this reason, the candidate number is also less. Thus, you have a preference to alter your stream for higher studies. One of my friends has told me that many people studied very hard and appeared in GATE although they have studied opted EI in B.Tech.
4. If you are looking for placement, then DAVV is the best. This institute always has better placement statistics than the other one that is SGSITS. My friend also told me that in DAVV, most of the students from E&TC, despite EI, are preferred by the recruitment companies.

In the following, the placement statistics of these two institutes are highlighted.

If you have not so many ideas about the stream and do not aware of the institutional tag; then it is better to choose E&TC in DAVV. Besides, if you are considering these two institutes, then both are quite similar in terms of academics. However, E&TC also has many other fields in the future, so that the job opportunity might be expanded. Hence, it will be best to go for E&TC over EI.

ENI stands for Electronics & Instrumentation Engineering while EEE is Electrical & Electronics Engineering. Having known some people studying at both these institutions, I can say that BITS Goa is better than NIT Surathkal.

• In terms of infrastructure, BITS Goa is obviously better than NIT Surathkal. 
• Better companies visit BITS Goa campus than NIT Surathkal. 
• The course curriculum and the quality of academic projects are also better at BITS Goa. 
• The faculty at BITS Goa is also top-notch.
• In between the two branches, both are almost the same barring a few subjects (3 subjects to be precise). 
• The course load, placements, and projects all are similar between the two. 
• As these are core branches, getting placed in the core companies is going to be difficult at either of the institutes. 

Finally, I would say that ENI at BITS Goa is very good and actually might be a little better than EEE at NIT Surathkal.
