BITS is known worldwide these days for its academic culture and its off-the-charts placements. According to some of my friends studying there, M.Sc courses are some of the best courses available in BITS and all its branches.
M.Sc in physics, chemistry, or Maths won’t certainly give you the placement you wish for but it will still be good. Placements in M.Sc PCMB are great when the student gets CSE as the engineering branch in the next few years. Also, M.Sc in Economics is very good when it comes to placements and does not depend on the branch you will be getting in the 2nd year based on your CGPA.
IGNOU offers an Integrated MSc in Physics, so you can pursue an Integrated MSc in Physics through IGNOU.
Minimum Duration: 2 Years for an Integrated MSc in Physics
Maximum Time: 3 Years
Rs. 14,000 for the course
Age Restrictions: The minimum age is 24 years.
There is no upper age limit.
Eligibility: To be eligible, the candidate must have a BSc in Mathematics/Physics.
BE/BTech in Applied Physics/Radio Physics and Electronics/Computer Science Engg./Electronics Engg. Mechanical Engg, Instrumentation Engineering/Photonics/Applied Opto-electronics are also required.
It is an Integrated MSc-PhD Programme in Physics and Astrophysics, which has been launched in collaboration with the Indian Institute of Astrophysics in Bangalore.
After completing their MSc, students are given a stipend following DST guidelines.
It is intended to provide students with a research orientation beginning at the post-baccalaureate level.
The following broad research areas are being considered: the Sun and Solar System, Stellar Physics, Extragalactic Astronomy, Theoretical Astrophysics and related areas of Physics, and Instrumentation.
A written test is used to select candidates, who are then interviewed.
The session starts in July.
The Program is delivered in both residential and face-to-face settings. The Indian Institute of Astrophysics offers an excellent hostel facility at a very low cost.
Every student receives a book allowance of Rs 5000/- per year.
Every student is assigned a mentor, who is a senior scientist.
There will be a lateral exit option after my MSc.
Those who receive at least 60% on their MSc exams will be eligible to pursue a Ph.D.
The MSc program consists of 17 required courses and 2 electives. These classes are spread out over four semesters.
NIT Durgapur will be better for an M.Sc Physics. The quality of academics and exposure offered is better than any of the non-tech institutes in the region. Most students prepare for competitive examinations like NET, GATE, JEST, BARC, ISRO, etc. NITD also has collaborations with many national institutes and research labs.
Yes, IIEST offers placements to MSc students. But the salary packages offered aren’t very high.
The chances are less but it does not mean that you cannot get admission. Securing a seat in CURAJ with 33 marks is difficult but you can easily get that in Central University of Punjab (CUPB).
During the first, second and third rounds of counseling, you may or may not get seats but after that the university conducts an open counseling and spot admission.
Every year, seats remain vacant in almost each and every course in CUPB. You may get a seat in the third round of counseling or after that in open counseling.
This is a common dilemma faced by many who are applying for MSc. It requires a great research-oriented approach and thus the choice of the Institute should depend on the research work and projects offered by that institute. One needs a wide range of choices of courses so that you can select the one that matches your area of interest.
Before researching campus life, look up the faculty profiles available on the official website of the institutes. Once you come across a profile with the kind of research work you are looking for and want to work on, then choose that particular Institute.
My friend chose IIT Madras because she found diversity in the fields people worked in there. You can find people working in almost every field from Experimental Condensed Matter, Theoretical Condensed Matter, Nanotechnology, General relativity, and cosmology to String theory, Quantum computation, and chaos, High energy - particle physics, Theoretical and Experimental Optics, and Mathematical aspects.
IIT Madras maintains the right balance between Experimental and Theoretical Physics which is sometimes not possible at other IITs. Despite this many flocks to IIT Kharagpur mainly because of herd mentality. In reality, IIT Madras has a lot to offer provided you are committed to doing your part of your efforts.
It cannot be exactly said how much marks you need to get admission in Central University of Punjab (CUPB) or Central University of Rajasthan (CURAJ).
You should at least have a score of 50% marks if you are from the Unreserved category. It is not that difficult.
The paper contains two sections in which the first section contains 25% questions for general awareness and the second section contains subject matter with 75% weightage.
Almost every year some seats always stay vacant in CUP-B so try scoring more than 45% to secure a seat in this institution.
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.
The best option among the mentioned institutions is University of Calcutta. You will be offered great opportunities here.
Yes pursuing an MSc degree in Physics from the Central University of Kerala is a good choice. As it is a central university, you will receive decent academics. You will get to meet many people from all over the country. You will get to experience university life and its work culture first hand.
Also, you should know that irrespective of which university you are taking, you will have to study on your own. You may get assistance from your professor or your friends. However, you will have to put in the extra effort to do well in your academics and get a job.
