If I am good in physics, which engineering branches would be better for me?

Hi, Engineering is application of sciences for betterment of the world. Only being good at physics doesn't make any branch perfect for you. In general you should also have a strong maths foundation for most of the branches. Even branches which are closer to physics will require extensive maths. You can consider graduating in pure sciences also in you are passionate about physics. If you insist on engineering then engineering physics is also a good choice. This course is provided by a few IITs. Otherwise the branches closest to physics would be- Mechanical if you like mechanics, fluid dynamics, thermodynamics and strength of materials. Aeronautical if you are interested in it. ECE would be if you are into Electrodynamics and Semi conductors (It is much more than that actually and requires rigorous maths too) Production is also good. I would suggest going to IIT's or NIT's websites and checking curriculum of all the branches to get a proper idea about what you will be learning. I did the same and landed on mechanical engineering.

Hi, As an engineering student, I would not suggest you to take admission in any particular stream of engineering just because you are good at physics. Being good at physics may help you more if you choose to do graduation in physics rather than an engineering. Even if you are good at physics and (say) bad at chemistry, still you can become a very good instrumentation engineer or chemical engineer or pharmaceutical engineer or an industrial engineer. Things often get changed when you get admitted to engineering. It's totally different issue of deciding which branch better suits us than thinking from the favorite subject point of view. While deciding branch, carefully go through every branch. Meet the people who have already opted the course of that particular branch. Ask them about their studies and branch. After doing this, decide carefully which branch fits you the most. All the best!

Hi, Glad to see that you are good in Physics and there are many scopes these days and future. Here, please take the suggestions from experts who have answered your question relating to which engineering filed you should choose rather I would advise from completely career scope perspective. Very soon, IoT and Robotics engineering will rule the world by their automation process. To become IoT and Robotics engineer, there are lots of circuit design professionals which will be required.

You can do any branch of your liking and interest. However, based on your interest in Physics, it is recommended that you may opt for following branches in order of precedence: (a) Mechanical (b) Automobile (c) Aeronautical Engineering (d) Metallurgy engineering.
