Hello Gouri, Medical physicists use a variety of analytical, computer-aided and bioengineering techniques in their work such as radiotherapy, x-ray imaging, ultrasound, tomography, radiology, nuclear magnetic resonance imaging and lasers. They work with patients and with a wide range of medical, technical and administrative staff.
The average pay for a Medical Physicist is $128,445 per year. Pay for this job rises steadily for more experienced workers, but goes down noticeably for employees with more than 20 years' experience. A skill in Radiology is associated with high pay for this job.
Good luck.

In my opinion, I don't thinks that its a good option as the current job market seems to be really bad for those entering this field.
Medical physics is a much longer and tougher road. At minimum you need a master's degree in medical physics, ideally from a CAMPEP accredited program, and these are very competitive to get into. A PhD in the field would be highly recommended.

Well, if you have Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics, all three in your Bachelor's degree you should first understand and analyze that which subject you like the most and you are highly interested in. Then devote atleast a year and evaluate the scope of M.Sc in that particular subject, study it and then select the subject. Don't be in a rush, take your time.
The physics section will hold 30 marks weigtage in the SITEEE question paper. There will be 15 MCQs out of the class 11th and 12th physics syllabus of CBSE, each of 2 marks.
The complete SITEEE exam syllabus is important. However, students must pay extra attention to a select few topics of the SITEEE physics syllabus like Kinematics, Laws of Motion, Work, Energy, and Power, Gravitation, Thermodynamics, Oscillations and Waves, Electrostatics, Current Electricity, Magnetism, Electromagnetic Induction, Optics (Ray and Wave), the Dual Nature of Radiation and Matter, Atoms and Nuclei, and Semiconductors.
The SITEEE syllabus for physics is based on the class 11tha dn 12th syllabus of the CBSE curriculum.
