Hello,

Engineering physics refers to the study of the combined disciplines of physics, mathematics and engineering, particularly computer, nuclear, electrical, electronic, materials or mechanical engineering. Engineering Physics is basically a very broad branch, as opposed to a regular BSc.

When it comes to BSc Physics, (Bachelor of science) is more theoretical than practical.

The Syllabus will be quite similar in both the courses but it may differ by College to College.

Hope this will help you, All the Best.
