A senior I know from school completed M.Sc in physics and in his opinion, the University of Calcutta is the best place to pursue this course. 

• 70% marks in B.Sc (Hons) in Physics is required to pursue this course at the University of Calcutta.
• In the University of Burdwan, the faculties of the department of Physics had individually obtained some major research projects from funding agencies like DST, ARDB, ISRO, UGC, BRNS, CSIR, etc. and all these projects were completed successfully. 
• For admission to the University of North Bengal, you need to have at least 50% in B.Sc (Physics). The department has active research groups in the fields of - Liquid Crystal; Relativity, Cosmology, and Astrophysics; High-energy Heavy-ion Interaction, and Cosmic-ray Physics. 
• In the case of Visva Bharati University, you need to score at least 50% marks in Physics Honors.

The best option among the mentioned institutions is University of Calcutta. You will be offered great opportunities here.

Honestly speaking, pursuing M.Sc in physics at Jiwaji University is a very good idea. Some of my friends graduated from here and are doing quite well.

• The department of physics, like many of the other departments, has a very good reputation.
• You will be in an environment that is suitable for research and the professors are not only capable but friendly as well. 
• The professors are talented and have years of educational experience.
• Most of the professors are alumni of IITs and also have PhDs from reputed universities.

For pursuing M.Sc in physics, candidates have to appear in an entrance exam. They will be selected on the basis of their score in the same. The combined fee for all semesters for M.Sc in physics is INR 27,580.

This program is different from the usual M.Sc. Program due to the fact that it provides a deeper knowledge not only in Physics but Photonics as well. After this PG degree, students can have an equally poised career in Physics as well as Photonics. While the knowledge in Physics will give the degree holder an opportunity to work in academics and research related to Physics; the knowledge in Photonics will help him to have a career in academics, research, and industry related to Photonics. Numbers of Photonics industries such as Lasers, Fiber Optics, Solar Photovoltaics, Lighting, Displays, etc require personnel trained in Photonics. The program is a perfect blend of Physics and Photonics and it certainly has a very good job potential.

The University of Hyderabad is one of the best universities to get a master’s in physics in India. You will get the exposure and the environment needed to get ahead in the field. It has developed a good curriculum for M.Sc in Physics over the years. Academics for M.Sc in Physics in this university has equally strong foundations in experiment and theory. You can choose from 3 specializations in the last semester: Modern Optics, Condensed Matter Physics, and High-Energy Physics. It’s one of the best places for High-energy Physics as a specialization which includes courses like Particle Physics, General Relativity, and Gravitation, Lie Algebra and Group Theory, Quantum Field Theory, etc. It has well equipped and up-to-date M.Sc teaching laboratories host many classic experiments in Condensed Matter and Optics. Faculties are friendly and there are also Ph.D. scholars who work as Teaching Assistants.

Among the new IITs established, the School of Basic Sciences at IIT Bhubaneswar is doing quite well. The Department of Physics in this IIT is well equipped with state-of-the-art laboratories. According to past statistics on placement, students from this department got placement offers with a median salary of 67 LPA. The top recruiting companies are ISRO, Microsoft, Oracle, Reliance Jio, Tata Power, Tata Steel, Wipro, Adobe, Amazon, IBM, Infosys, etc.

The University of Hyderabad and IIT Bhubaneswar, both are good institutes for an MSc in physics so choose wisely according to your convenience.

• The theory courses are designed within the line of GATE and CSIR syllabus. In interest, the programme is complemented with exceptional topics like Non-Destructive Trial, Lasers and Applications, Thin-Films and Applications, Nano-Science and Technology etc. as electives. 

Admission

• For admission into MSc physics. a bachelor's degree in relevant discipline with a minimum of 60% marks is required.
• Applicants need to receive a valid score in IIT JAM to apply.
• The total tuition fee for MSc in physics is around 60,000.
• The student strength is between 20-25.

Placement:

• During the last placement season 80% of the students got placed with the highest package ranging around INR 17 lacs per annum and the average package ranging around INR 3.5 lacs per annum.
• Samsung, EXL, L&T, CapGemini, GAP, etc. were some of the top recruiters of the institution.

Faculty:

• The faculty at NIT Hamirpur are very great. Almost all faculty members hold a PhD in their respective disciplines and have patents to their name.
• The faculty is very interactive and supportive towards students.

The college you desire to choose always remains secondary, since the primary focus should always be your interest in any particular subject. No matter which college you opt to, you can always pave your way to success as long as you are dedicated and passionate about your career.

M.Sc Physics program at IIT Bhubaneswar is quite good both in terms of academics and future career prospects.

It is a two-year full-time postgraduate program and the course fee is INR 2.66 lakh. The pre-requisite for admission to the program is a minimum of 55% marks in Bachelor’s degree or 5.5 CGPA for general candidates and for SC/ST or PwD students a minimum of 50% marks in Bachelor’s degree or 5.0 CGPA. Selection to the program is based on the performance in JAM, according to the AIR decided by the institute. For tie-breaking, the candidate with higher positive marks is given preference. The least cutoff for MSc in Physics in last year was 370.

According to the placement statistics of 2019, around 70% of students from PG course got placement and the average CTC was 11.4 LPA. Many students also choose to work in research labs and go for higher studies.
