Hi,
Automobile engineering is certainly an interesting profile. In Indian market starting salary is stated to be around 3.5 lacs pa as per a reputed pay scale survey website. Average salary is mentioned around 6.5 lacs however the upper limit totally depends on the talent of the designer and the company that hires the designer.
Job prospects for graduates holding an automobile design degree come mainly from car manufacturers and design companies specializing in automotive design. A college with close ties to such companies can be helpful in placing recent graduates. According to the BLS, industrial designers are expected to see a 4% job increase during the 2012-2022 decade, which is slower than average for all occupations. Consumer demand for innovative designs, however, should ensure the continued need for all types of industrial designers.
Hope this information helps.
All the best.
