how to apply for engineering physics after bsc ? what will be the duration of this course?
Bac physics ke baad egienring kar sakathe hai kya
Dear Student,
After earning a BSc in physics, sure, it is feasible to become an engineer.
Depending on the degree or course you prefer, you can choose one of three paths to an engineering degree after completing a BSc in physics.
There are these ways,
- BSc (Physics) →MSc (Physics/Electronics) →Mtech (Mechanical/Electronics/Electrical/Physical)
- BSc (Physics) →MCA →Mtech (computer science)
- BSc (Physics) →Btech
You can complete your MSc and Mtech degrees in 4 years if you choose the first option, which is also the easiest. The second one is solely suitable for people who desire to pursue computer engineering and requires the same amount of time. You'll spend the most time on the third one. After completing your BSc, you will be enrolled in a second-year Btech programme, and you must complete 3 years of Btech. Your total time will be 5 years if you complete an extra 2 years of Mtech.
Coming to the different exams that corresponds to a particular course, there is
- IIT-JAM (Indian Institute of Technology Joint Admission test for Masters) for MSc/MS (Physics, Geophysics, Electronics, etc), dual MSc-Mtech(Material science specializing in nanotechnology, photonics, geophysics, etc) and integrated PhD courses. Eligibility: BSc (Physics).
- GATE (Graduate Aptitude Test for Engineering) for Mtech, MS, and integrated PhD. Eligibility: Btech/MSc/MCA.
- LEET (Lateral Entry Entrance Test) for Btech (2nd year) . Eligibility: BSc (Physics)/Btech (1st year).
- Also different universities have different lateral entry programmes. It's good to check websites of IITs, IIITs, NITs, State universities, National Universities and private universities for their own lateral entry scheme.
You can always attempt earning a PhD that is more bent towards engineering if you haven't been able to enrol in any graduate engineering courses because PhD programmes are always more interdisciplinary.
