Hello dear,

Firstly thanks for approaching us. 

For physicists you require a Ph.D. and postgraduate study. The degree field must be physics.

The key skill that you require is the ability to comprehend abstract subjects such as time and space, ability to design experiments and to think outside the box. 


You can follow the following steps to be a physicist:

1) get yourself a bachelor's degree in physics.

2) get research experience.

3) pass additional tests.

4) earn a doctoral degree

5) advance your career by joining postdoctoral research projects


And the colleges from which you can get a degree are listed below: 

  1. Mount Carmel College (MCC Bangalore), Palace Road, Bangalore
  2. Amity University (AU Noida), Noida

Dear Adil,

  1. Get a degree in Physics (with mathematics would help)
  2. As an undergrad, understand, appreciate and experience every bit of Physics you do. (Congrats! You are an amateur Physicist)
  3. Depending on which Branch of Physics interests you the most, do an internship or a project under a professor who works in that field.
  4. Finish your masters. Clear the NET, get a PhD from a good institute. (You are now universally qualified to continue research.)
  5. Put your heart and soul into your research!

Hope this helps!!
