It all depends on what you are interested in and what qualifications you gained at school/college. The three main areas you could look at are Software, Mechanical and Electronic engineering. All these are important for Robotics. Out of the three, Software engineering (Computer Programming) would be the one which would give you the best opportunity in the future to actually work with Robots. Which ever of the course you choose, try and select modules which have the most application to robotics but at the same type try and diversify the module choice so you get a good understanding of lots of different areas.
I have been asked this question many times and it still seems there are few undergraduate Robotics courses taught in India. Don't worry though, as there are plenty of engineering courses available, which can serve as a basis to understanding the fundamentals of Robotics. If I were you, I would think 'What is it about Robotics that interests me?' You may think of things like: 'I am facinated with how robots are built' or 'I like how Robots move around un-aided' or you maybe more interested in Swarms of Robots or the Phycology of humans working with Robots. Whatever your interest, you will find that one of the following undergraduate courses would allow you to explore your interest in Robotics, while also gainin skills in a good Scientifi subject.

The best advice I can give, is to find make a list of the Universities you wish to study in and then send an e-mail to each asking for more information about the Robotics courses they run. You should then receive information packs informing you about the course and the entry requirements :)
