Sir,I have completed my M.Sc in physics and what are the courses that I can go for other than Ph.D and what are the opportunities in abroad relating to my subject?

Ans: M.Sc in Physics will have less scope in other countries. If you don't go for Ph.D you can try for Admin jobs of Govt. through state PSC or you can apply for central Govt. admin jobs through UPSC. For school teaching you need to complete B.Ed.

Hello sir, I am currently doing btech cse from government college,but i wanted to do bsc honors in physics. Can I still do an MSc in physics after btech in Abroad?? What should I do to do masters in physics in abroad ?
Ans: Hello,

To begin with, thank you for reaching out to us. To answer your first question, yes, it is indeed possible for you to pursue an MSc in Physics abroad after completing a B.Tech in Computer Science and Engineering.
However, before you decide to pursue your masters, I would recommend you to do the following:

1. Do a bridge course: A program like Physics MSc program would need you to have a strong grip in subjects like physics and mathematics. Since there would be a gap between your engineering degree and MSc, you may have to take up additional courses in physics and math to address the requirements. You can opt for courses in classical mechanics, electromagnetism, quantum mechanics, and mathematical methods in physics from a reputed college in India.

2. Enrich your skills and knowledge: While still embarking on your Bachelor’s of Technology journey, you should conduct further research and study on your own to boost your knowledge in Physics. For the same, I recommend that you participate in research or initiatives that are related to physics. Not just that, you should also read physics textbooks, or reach out to faculty members to acquire their advice as they can aid you in your educational pursuits.

3. Enroll Yourself in Bridge Programs: To get started with their MSc program, bridge programs or courses that can be opted for before pursuing Master’s, are offered by several universities to help students with no prior knowledge in Physics. If possible, I recommend that you register for such programs.

4. Conduct A Comprehensive Study on Programs: To find the program that best suits your professional objectives and interests, conduct an all-round study on universities and Master’s in Physics courses offered overseas. I think that it is best to search for those programs that can be opted for by students coming from different intellectual settings or ones that provide bridge courses that can be opted for by students switching from one field to another.

5. Applying to Universities: I suggest that you adhere to the rules set forth by the universities you have considered for the purpose of applying. You will need to submit your academic marksheets, a compelling personal statement or essay, strong recommendation letters, and exams scores of standardized and English proficiency tests. Each university has different application deadlines and I recommend that you pay head to the same.

6. Craft A Compelling SOP: I recommend that your write a strong SOP, one that highlights your educational history, what inspired you to transition from the field of CS to physics, your inclination for research experience, and why you wish to opt for a Master’s in Physics. Throw light on initiatives, pertinent course of study, or past research knowledge.

7. Appear for the GRE Standardized Test or English Competency Exams: While applying to foreign universities, students are required to appear for the GRE standardized test. They also need to take the IELTS or TOEFL English proficiency tests to prove their ability to speak in the English language. I suggest that you prepare well for these tests and aim to achieve high marks in them.

8. Submit Endorsement Letters: You should receive and submit recommendation letters from faculty members who can attest to your academic prowess, and physics abilities.

9. Plan your Finances: Studying abroad can be a costly affair and so I suggest that you arrange for your finances meticulously. Foreign universities offer a number of bursaries/grants, scholarships, and other forms of financial aid possibilities to students studying there. I recommend that you look into the various available options.

10. Follow Visa Rules and Immigration Guidelines: On securing admission to a university, you will then need to apply for a valid visa to study in that country. Not only that, all immigration prerequisites associated with pursuing overseas education should be adhered to.

I also recommend that you get in touch with educational counselors and experts to acquire advice throughout the application procedure.

Sir, what will be batter choice for my doughter as, we may get cse at college of technology & engineering, udaypur vs Cse ar RTU, kota.
Ans: Amit Sir, College of Technology & Engineering (CTAE) Udaipur offers CSE with a placement rate of 70–80% and an average package around ?5–6.3 lakh, with top recruiters like TCS, Wipro, and Infosys, and a strong alumni network supporting placements and internships. CTAE’s government status ensures affordable fees (?1.96 lakh total), good infrastructure, and active entrepreneurship and research cells, though students note the need for self-initiative in skill-building as the curriculum is somewhat traditional. Rajasthan Technical University (RTU) Kota’s CSE placements are less transparent, but the overall university placement rate is about 60–65%, with an average package of ?3.75–7 lakh and top recruiters like Infosys, Microsoft, and Amazon. RTU’s CSE program benefits from experienced faculty, research labs, and a large campus, but the placement process is more centralized and less personalized, and the median salary is slightly lower than CTAE’s. Both colleges have comparable infrastructure and hostel facilities, but CTAE Udaipur’s CSE department is more established, and its placement process is considered more proactive, with better student support and a higher median salary for CSE graduates.

The recommendation is to prefer CSE at College of Technology & Engineering, Udaipur, due to its higher placement rate, stronger alumni network, more affordable fees, and better student support for internships and placements, making it a more advantageous choice for your daughter’s career prospects compared to RTU Kota. All the BEST for your Prosperous Future!

sir i got 1023 ews rank in IAT exam . is any chance in iiser , and i got a seat in hbtu in bsms in mathematics and data science course . what should i do
Ans: Amit, With an EWS rank of 1023 and an AIR of 1023 in the IAT exam, your chances of getting a seat in any IISER in 2025 are extremely slim. The EWS closing ranks for IISER BS-MS programs in the last two years have not exceeded 772 (Berhampur), 767 (Tirupati), 625 (Thiruvananthapuram), 525 (Bhopal), and 373 (Kolkata) in the final rounds, and the expected cutoff for 2025 remains in the 700–800 range for the least competitive campuses. Even in earlier rounds, the EWS closing ranks for all IISERs, including new campuses, have consistently stayed well below 1023, and rising competition is likely to keep cutoffs tight. Therefore, an EWS rank of 1023 does not qualify for any IISER seat in 2025. Meanwhile, HBTU Kanpur’s BS-MS in Mathematics and Data Science is a five-year integrated program with strong academic credentials, NAAC A+ accreditation, and growing placement opportunities in analytics, data science, and IT, with recent placements at TCS and other reputed companies. The course is designed for students interested in mathematics, computing, and data-driven careers, and is recognized as a good alternative for those not securing top engineering or science seats. HBTU’s placement cell is active, and the program’s interdisciplinary nature opens doors to analytics, machine learning, research, and higher studies, while also accepting JEE Main and CUET scores for admission.

The recommendation is to proceed with the BS-MS Mathematics and Data Science program at HBTU Kanpur, as IISER admission is not possible at your EWS rank, and HBTU offers a reputable, industry-aligned integrated program with good placement prospects and strong academic support. All the BEST for your Prosperous Future!

Can I get pes electronic city cse (ai ml) with a rank of 5796 if I have applied through jee mains score
Ans: With a rank of 5,796 in JEE Main 2025, admission to PES University Electronic City's CSE (AI-ML) program is very unlikely through the JEE Main quota. Recent cutoff data reveals that the JEE Main closing ranks for B.Tech Computer Science and Engineering (Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning) at PES University were 3,119 for general category in 2024, while historical data shows cutoffs have ranged from 426-733 for related CSE programs. The university offers only 24 JEE Main quota seats for CSE (AI-ML) out of 480 total seats, making competition extremely intense. Even the Electronic City campus, which typically has higher cutoffs than the Ring Road campus, would require significantly better ranks for CSE programs. Current trends indicate cutoffs may increase by 5-10% due to rising competition, making your rank further from the required threshold. While the university accepts both KCET and JEE Main scores for admission, your rank falls well outside the competitive range for direct admission through JEE Main quota to this program.

The recommendation is that with a JEE Main rank of 5,796, securing CSE (AI-ML) at PES Electronic City through JEE Main quota is not feasible, but you should explore management quota options or consider alternative engineering programs at PES University or other institutions where your rank would be competitive. All the BEST for your Prosperous Future!

Hello sir I got integrated Msc in physics in VIT and Amritha and when I ask to the seniors about it they told me that in vit this course has introduced in 2021 and no batch has passed out so they dont know about the placement and she told that there is some problem with syllabus if you have any other options open then follow it and in amritha this coursemintroduced many year ago and batches are passed out and in their site I found that the students some are placed in banks,infosys etc and also there is opportunity to go abroad for Msc from amritha.Also I am planning to write IIT jam and go anywhere top like that so sir I am very much confused of choosing these both and finally I end up with amritha.Is there any fault in my decision and if I do not get in any IIT do I get opportunity for campus placement
Ans: Sreelakshmi, In 2021, VIT introduced its five-year Integrated M.Sc. in Physics, but no batch has graduated yet, so placement readiness remains untested and uncertain. Seniors have also cited concerns over syllabus alignment gaps. At Amrita Vishwa Vidyapeetham, the five-year Integrated M.Sc. in Physics has a three-year placement rate of approximately 60 – 70 percent, with recruiters including Infosys, Bank of Baroda and other public sector banks. Amrita achieved an overall placement rate exceeding 100 percent in 2024, with 354 offers from 115 recruiters and paid internships at Microsoft and Google that often lead to full-time roles. The program offers MSc projects at IISc, IITs and international exchange opportunities at universities such as Colorado State University. The curriculum includes dedicated research mentorship, a freed-final semester for internships and thesis, and GATE/NET exam guidance. If IIT JAM admission is not secured, Amrita’s placement cell conducts regular campus recruitment drives for M.Sc. Physics graduates, ensuring continued industry entry pathways.

The recommendation is to enrol at Amrita, whose established M.Sc. Physics program delivers robust placement outcomes, paid internships, international research exposure, a structured curriculum with thesis and exam guidance, and guaranteed campus recruitment even if IIT JAM admission is not achieved, providing a safer and more comprehensive pathway for long-term growth. All the BEST for your Prosperous Future!
