How can I become a Quantum Physicist in India ?
Quantum physics studies the behavior of matter and radiation at the atomic scale. It deals with the dual nature of matter and radiation (as particle and as wave) and their interactions and inter convertibility.
To become a Physicist in India you have to follow these steps:
-
Step 1
Take Science stream with Physics, Chemistry and MathsStudying Physics, Chemistry and Maths at the 10+2 level and securing a minimum score in these subjects would be a prerequisite for admission into a bachelor degree in physics.
-
Step 2
Take B.Sc. PhysicsThe common course offered at the UG level in this area is B.Sc. Physics. The duration of the course is usually three years.
There are 5 year Integrated M.Sc. programs in physics that are offered by many of the prominent universities in the country.
Take M.Sc. Physics
After completing the UG degree, you can either go for MSc. Physics or MS in Physics with a specialisations of choice. M.Sc. courses in India are of two years duration and MS degrees offered in various universities abroad are mostly of one year duration.
Note: Integrated PhDThere are Integrated PhD (Master’s + PhD) programs offered by various universities across the country.
Go for doctoral level studies
After pursuing master’s, you can go for an M Phil/PhD in Physics if your profile (including projects, research papers, and internships) and research proposal is excellent.
