Hello Debajyoti,

Thanks for contacting Careers360.

Students who study Physics in Class 12 can pursue careers after pursuing a more specialized course/degree in the following spheres:

Engineering

One of the most popular courses/disciplines that science students consider pursuing after their Class 12 is joining a BE/B.Tech course. This is a good career choice because all the concepts, theories and practical exposure science students receive in their Class XI and Class XII curriculum prove extremely helpful when pursuing an engineering degree in college.

Aviation

Another field that is slowly becoming a hot choice for students is aviation, particularly the job profile of a commercial pilot. Here, a think to note is that only those aspirants are eligible to apply for flying courses who have studied Physics in their Class XII.
Merchant Navy

Aspirants who want to pursue a career in navigational as well as engineering fields of Merchant Navy should possess a B.Sc degree in mechanical field or marine engineering. Although this is the eligibility criteria cited by most institutions when they hire individuals for the merchant navy, however, insiders reveal that sometimes candidates who have successfully completed their Class XII with PCM, that is, Physics, Chemistry, Mathematics may also be eligible to join the merchant navy for posts such as Deck Cadets.
Information Technology (IT)

Another field in which students can pursue a career after studying Physics in Class XII is Information Technology (IT).

Both the software as well as hardware sectors form a part of IT industry.
Architecture

The field of architecture is also sometimes considered to be a part of engineering as a larger study field. Architecture as a career options mostly deals with constructing buildings and also elaborating on what all needs to be done while constructing these structures such as - air conditioning systems,
