Hi Somen,
Physics finds a wide application in industry, atomic and space organizations, forensic science, meteorology, electronics, design & development engineering, research laboratories. It also has considerable commercial and military value. Physicists are mainly involved in (R&D) research and development in specialized branches such as elementary particle physics, astrophysics, nuclear physics, biotechnology, etc.
A growing number of physicists specialize in biophysics, chemical physics, radio physics, astrophysics and related sciences. Besides going in for research, you could also teach in colleges/universities for which the minimum requirement is M.Sc Physics and qualifying the UGC-CSIR NET for lectureship and JRF. MSc followed by a BEd will enable you to teach at the high school level. You can write NET to secure a good job of a professor after completing M.Phil and Ph.D.
M.Sc Physics students are also eligible for pursuing M.Tech in a host of engineering/ technology disciplines including aeronautical, automobile, instrumentation, electronics & communication, or computer science at leading institutions including the IITs after taking the GATE (Graduate Aptitude Test in Engineering).
Postgraduate diplomas in leather, sugar, plastics, processing, packaging or environment technology are some other options you could look at. Moreover, the skills developed while studying Physics, particularly the ability to research, evaluate and communicate information, will hold you in good stead in just about any field you may choose to train for - be it management, information technology, or aviation. You can also take the Civil Services as well as the Indian Forest Service Exams with Physics as one of the papers in the Mains examination.
