Sir IIT kgp BS physics or IIST or Iiser..kindly rate it .My son is interested in physics and wants to explore everything..Which will be the right place for quenching his thurst
Ans: Kanchan Madam, IIT Kharagpur’s four-year B.Sc in Physics offers a rigorous core curriculum with foundational courses in quantum mechanics, optics and computational physics, delivered by PhD-qualified faculty in well-equipped optics, condensed-matter and programming labs; it supports summer internships and sees 70–80% of graduates entering industry or research. IIST’s five-year dual degree in Engineering Physics + M.Sc/M.Tech blends physics and engineering with specialized streams (astronomy, solid-state physics, optical engineering), boasts ISRO-linked advanced-propulsion, nano-fabrication and observatory facilities, and mandates project-based internships in space research. IISER’s BS-MS in Physical Sciences provides interdisciplinary teaching across physics, chemistry and mathematics for three years followed by two years of focused research projects under active faculty mentorship, fostering early access to cutting-edge research and an academic career trajectory (only ~10% opt for campus placements).
For a deep research immersion and continuity into advanced scientific inquiry, the recommendation is the IISER BS-MS program. For a concentrated, industry-aligned physics foundation, opt for IIT Kharagpur B.Sc Physics. PLEASE NOTE that selection into ISRO through IIST is not guaranteed, as ISRO’s recruitment policies are revised annually and may include additional eligibility criteria. All the BEST for Admission & a Prosperous Future!
