The answer would be Yes. One of my friends had completed B.Tech in Instrumentation and Control Engineering from NIT Trichy. The course is definitely tough but the level of difficulty perceived may differ from person to person. And here is some of the information about the course.

Sheer multi-disciplinary nature of subjects :

• In the very same semester, the candidate will have to study a varied range of subjects such as Fluid mechanics, Material sciences and Circuit theory. 
• All of these subjects require a good knowledge about modeling in different areas of Physics as it is one of the most essential skills of an Instrument designer.

Involvement in Laboratory activities :

• Practical knowledge is very important. 
• Most of the lab exercises are worked in a team. 
• Thus to complete any task starting from designing, experiment and analysis within a particular given time is a bit of a challenge. 
• It is important for all the team members to work efficiently for the task to be completed.

Programming and Analytical skills : 

• It is important to have a good hold on C/C++ programming to understand subjects such as Data structures/Algo, Embedded systems, Control systems design.

Product design and Development :

• The candidate needs to come with new project ideas and develop it from scratch and make it an Industrial prototype. 
• This will require a lot of outdoor work, market surveys, meeting suppliers and customer feedback. 
• Teamwork is very important for such activities.

Design specification :

• Right from the lab exercises, most of the projects and products the candidate needs to work on have a clear Design Specification. 
• It is important to adhere to those specifications as it demands sincere and laborious efforts from the candidate which might be tough. 
• The faculty or project guide may also make things tougher.

These were some of the aspects that make Instrumentation and Control Engineering tough. The course is pretty involved and demanding. Though all these mentioned aspects and skills are required to be a successful Instrumentation engineer.

There are certain requirements which are needed to be fulfilled by every student in the proper admission procedure.

Eligibility

• You should score 50% in their Bachelor's degree or a CGPA equivalent. 
• For students belonging to SC/ST/Differently Abled (PWD category), the candidate must have a minimum score of 45%. 

In case there is a candidate who is still waiting for his/her results after completing their degree OR is appearing in their final year of Bachelor's- they can thereafter join on provisional grounds by submitting the documents required on time. This document has to be signed by the Principal of the candidate's previous college mentioning that the candidate has cleared their degree. 

Admission Procedure

1. A valid score in CAT or XAT. Based on these scores, you will be shortlisted for GD and PI round.
2. Apart from applying to IIFM via CAT/XAT, you can visit the university's website and pay the admission fee - Rs. 1000 for the general category and Rs. 500 for SC/ST category.
3. Based on your CAT/XAT score, you have to show up for an interview either at Bhopal, Bengaluru, Delhi, or Kolkata. Nevertheless, ultimately IIFM would be allotting centers to the candidates. 

These are some of the processes you have to follow to get admission at IIFM Bhopal. You will be finally selected on the basis of your overall performance, from admission scores, ranks, and performance in GD and PI.

In the year 2020 the electrical branch was closed up to 375 ranks for general quota in the first round of counselling, but in the second round of counselling the electrical branch was closed up to 450 ranks.

The table below will give an approximation of the cutoff rank for BIT Sindri for the academic year 2020. 

In general, try to keep your percentile above 95 and you can get any of the branches in the first counselling round. 

Assuming that you must have already gone through the essential details required for your decision as to your undergraduate course. Few points are being listed below to give you a better understanding of your area of concern.

• Faculty: The faculty at NIT Trichy is highly experienced and highly educated. One can say that they are proficient in their field of expertise. Some professors can give you a hard time but an easy college life would not be of much fun.
