Hello Aspirant,

Hope your doing good

Researcher: Candidates who hold a B.Sc physics degree can apply for researcher or scientist posts at top organisations in India like DRDO, BARC, ISRO, NTPC, BHEL etc. Technician: Various private organisations hire candidates with B.Sc Physics degree for technical support/ Technician jobs

some of the best career options for bsc in physics includes:


B. Ed.


B. Tech Electronics.


M. Sc Acoustics.


M. Sc Applied Electronics.


M. Sc Astronomy.


M. Sc Astrophysics.


M. Sc Electronics.


M. Sc Geophysics.

one can pursue an M.Tech degree in a variety of engineering or technology disciplines such as aeronautical, automobile, instrumentation, electronics and communication, or computer sciences. But, make sure you crack the GATE (Graduate Aptitude Test in Engineering) exam first, before going down this road.

Next, if you have a passion for teaching, you could also apply in government or private colleges and universities; polytechnic institutes, degree colleges, engineering colleges, IITs, IISc etc.

Furthermore, Physics students may enter the physics divisions or the R&D dept of leading automobile majors, the aircraft industry etc. One can also look forward to becoming a Physics teacher or professor.

Hope this helps, for more information ping us back

Thankyou, Good Luck for everything ahead :)

Hello dear!

You can do the following courses.

•B. Ed

•B. Tech electronics

•M. Sc Acoustics

•M. Sc applied electronics

•M. Sc astronomy

•M. Sc astrophysics

•M. Sc electronics

hey,

after completing your B.Sc and M.Sc physics you can have job in both the sectors private and government sector, you can find in different arena like research labs, IT fields, automobile industry , research and development organizations etc , you can be a junior research fellow , research scientist , medical physicist , radiation physicist , research associate etc , some of the top recruiters are maruti udyog, TATA motors, indian institute of patent and trademark , tech mahindra , infosys , CTS etc

hope this helps

good luck!

Hello Aspirant,

There are actually Three things you can do after you ‘earn’ your Bachelor degree in Physics :

  1. Continue your studies
  2. Get a Job , or
  3. Give a Job

Allow me to explain each in detail -

  1. Continue your studies :

-> Here you have several Options:

a) Pursue Masters from IIT by cracking IITJAM or from any other university on Physics and earn a PHd later on. You can also do Integrated PHd by applying and getting a good rank in JEST , TIFR , IISER etc.

b) Pursue your Masters from any IIT (or from any other University) and then pursue MTech by cracking GATE. After MTech you can get placed in some PSUs or some reputed MNCs. Many prefer higher studies though (like PHd after Mtech). (P.S - IIT Kharagpur provides Integrated Mtech-PHd for Computer Science and Data Analytics after qualifying in GATE)

c) Give an entrance test conducted by few universities for Btech and get into some good Engineering Colleges. (Ex : Jadavpur University in Kolkata conducts an entrance test for students of BSc(Hons) Physics. Qualified Candidates enter into 2nd year of BTech. Likewise Calcutta University provides Btech in Radiophysics.)

d) Do Bachelors in Education(BEd) for a Teaching Job.

e) MSc on other subjects like Biophysics, RadioPhysics, Geophysics, Instrumentation etc. Ex - MScTech in Geophysics from ISM Dhanbad (Note : the degree mention MScTech not MTech; Both are different).

f) Other Masters programme in other disciplines if you want to do it like MCA, MBA, MA, LLB etc. (Being interested in Defence Services, personally I would have preferred Masters from Institute of Defence Studies in Pune and PHd later on— a path very few know or like to tread .)

g) If you have a Gap in years after your BSc Physics and possess the thought that you will be unable to share the class with the younger generation, feel free to pursue distance learning through IGNOU. You can pursue your masters on other subjects via IGNOU or sit for an entrance examination for MSc. Physics (distance learning) which by the way IGNOU conducts in collaboration with Indian Institute of Astrophysics (forms available in the month of september).

h) You can also pursue higher studies from Foreign universities. Of course you have to crack the competitive exams related for that purpose.

2. Get a Job :

→ You can Apply for Various entrance examinations for Banks(RBI Grade B, SBI PO, IBPS etc), Railways( ASM, Goods Guard, JE, RPF SI etc) , PSUs or State Units(AAI ATC, Electricity Executives, Forest Guard etc), Armed Forces(AFCAT, CDSE, Coast Guard(only interview) ), Civil Services(UPSC CSE, State CSE, IFoS) and Central/State Police Services( SSC CAPF, UPSC CAPF, SSC CGL etc). Crack these Examinations and earn a respectable service with the Central or State Governments or Banking Sector or PSUs.

(PS : If you have completed MSc Physics then you can apply in Indian Navy as an Officer or else not. Indian Navy does not recruit candidates having just BSc in Physics. You either should have BTech or do MSc Physics- the condition valid even in UPSC CDSE recruitment)

→ If you want a job in your core field(subject), there are exams like ISRO Scientific Assistant, SSC IMD Scientific Assistant, BHAVINI Scientific Assistant, NCPOR Scientific Assistant(which do not conduct any exam but only Personal Interview), NPCIL Scientific Assistant etc. which too are Govt Organisations that requires Bachelor’s in Physics as a qualification.

(PS- If you complete MSc in Physics however you can apply for a relatively higher position in similar organisations for the post of Scientific Officer - Some institutes like BARC donot recruit candidates having a degree less than that of MSc.)

You know the craze for Government Jobs, Don’t you? Some Jobs are indeed Earned. :)

→ However You can always find a Job in the Corporate Sector. Ex: TCS, WIPRO etc.

So, All the very Best if getting a Job is your sole Aim.

P.S - Build and Develop Skills via sites(also Android App) like Udemy, Coursera, edX, Skillshare, Codecademy etc. Trust me sometimes recruiters will be much interested if they learn that you have invested some quality time in having knowledge which can give you an edge over other candidates. Also makes your Resume look quite attractive. Moreover guess what, most courses are totally free of Cost. After Completing the Course if you wish to have the valid Certificate with a signature and stamp from reputed universities, you can pay them a certain fee. Totally ok if you dont pay as those digital certificates will not hold much value over regular courses;but do keep in mind the skill you learn can make you top notch over others.

Personally I prefer to pay as a token of appreciation. Doesn’t seem much(approx 3k INR & sometimes even only 600 INR) if you consider the fact that the knowledge you receive is immense and magnificent.

3. Give a Job :

→ Well you know what I am going to say. The Word that became the centre of attention lately in India- ‘Entrepreneurship’.

Take risks, try out new ways, give people a source of Income, earn Fortunes and build your own Empire. And the thing is you don’t even need a Bsc or Physics to be a great entrepreneur. You don’t need to work for anyone, You can always work for yourself.

But yes to be brutally honest- as lovely as the situation might seem- you will most likely Fail in this venture. Dont get me wrong but what I am saying here is the ‘Reality’. However I haven’t seen or met Entrepreneurs who didnot fail and yet achieved big.

Who knows You might become the next Zuckerburg or the next Elon Musk - which by the way if you dont know, Mr. Musk has done his Bachelors in Physics.

This may help.

Happy learning!
