Anmol, There are 2 kinds of careers - based on understanding of theory or based on practice of theory. All right brained activities including sports a& creative career lie in the latter domain. For careers that are based on practice of your skills, degrees become irrelevant and in fact come in your way of acquiring knowledge. All govts across the world have designed structures on how degrees can be provided. These structures for e.g. UGC in India accredit the colleges for following the rules. and these rules stipulate a minimum qualification for the teachers. It is here where the fault line lies. All masters of their arts whether sportsmen, musicians or directors, spend all their time honing their passions in their own ways & learn from other masters in their art. And the people who do not do well in their art end up doing the higher degrees & become teachers in the colleges. Now this means that the best people are left out of the education system. Hence there is a need for studenrs of art to enter mentoring programs to hone their skills. Alternatively they can learn in diplomas which allow for anyone to teach as long as they are good in their art. Now this freedom does make the learner's task difficult as ungoverned academies have to be judged directly by the students. So be careful while choosing a mentor or an institute.
You could do well to create a list of places you may want to learn at, whether they are in your city or not. Then go to their websites and research about them, & even call them and talk to them. Try their website for more details. Typically go for a school which offers all the information including faculty on their website. Now shortlist some you want to visit. Do not hesitate to travel - this is about your life and career. After visiting those take a decision for yourself. Even if you have to travel to timbuctoo or chandigarh for that matter, it is important for your life, so do it. Here is an article by Arena Chandigarh Centre Head on Shiksha website, about how to select the right college to help you in your research https://www.shiksha.com/questions-to-ask-before-you-pick-an-animation-college-article-4699-1.

Hi Somen,
Integrated PhD is a 4 year PhD programme which involves students taking postgraduate level courses and a dissertation during their first year before progressing onto standard PhD research. It is similar to spending one year studying for a Statistics MSc followed by three years on a PhD. Progression to year 2 of the programme is dependent on students performing well during their first year (based on the minimum level of achievement we would expect from someone capable of obtaining a PhD). Students who fail to progress are eligible for an MRes (subject to satisfactory performance).
The Integrated PhD is aimed at students who have the academic potential to do a PhD in Statistics but lack the necessary statistical background to be normally considered for a standard PhD. Primarily these are students who have a strong mathematics background but have lacked the opportunity to specialise in statistics; or to take the postgraduate level courses in statistics that are necessary preparation for a PhD However it would also be appropriate for well-motivated numerate graduates who wished to convert from an undergraduate degree in a related scientific discipline.
Physics graduates who aspire to become scientists should do the M.Sc. programme in the discipline or related Physics graduates who aspire to become scientists should do the M.Sc. programme in the discipline or related specialised subjects or branches and then take a Ph.D. Astrophysics or Astronomy, Nuclear Physics, Geophysics, Applied Geophysics, Solid State Physics, Space Physics, Electronics and Meteorology are among the specialized subjects.
The Indian Institutes of Technology (IITs), offers M.Sc.-level programmes in Physics. The IITs, Bombay and Kanpur, conduct M.Sc.- Ph.D. dual-degree programmes.
Selection to these programmes at the IITs and IISc is through the Joint Admission Test (JAM). Thiruvananthapuram, Ernakulam and Kozhikode are test centres.
Physics graduates with at least 55 per cent marks in aggregate can take the test. However, for admission to the integrated Ph.D. programme at the IISc, a first class (60 per cent marks) is required.

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.

Hello yashika!
Both the campuses have their respective features. Its upto you which one suits you.
Delhi's campus is surely good. The companies visit their offers a very good package. You also have the advantage of metro just outside the campus. But pune's campus is nevertheless back. The main university i.e. BVDU is here in pune only. The city is an educational hub & so is same for jobs. A lot of companies visit here for campus recruitment process. Highest package offered over here is 14 lac p.a.
Both campus have their own good features. So its upto you what foes you want & which one matches your choice.
I would suggest you to go for pune's campus.
Thank you!

Hi Somen,
Difference Between BTech and BSc:-
B.Tech. is a professional Bachelors' degree program whereas B.Sc. is only an academic Science graduation course. B Tech stands for Bachelor of Technology whereas B.Sc. is Bachelor of Science. Since B Tech is an engineering graduation, B Tech students have to study the vast techniques involved in a particular subject. They have to study about the processes involved in designing new instruments, techniques or programs, which comes under their field of study. On the contrary, B.Sc. graduates may have to study the working principles about an instrument or a process that is included in their curriculum.
Duration of B Tech and B.Sc. programs:-
Although both these are graduation programs, B Tech is a four year duration course. Aspirants can complete the B.Sc. programs within three years. Engineering colleges offer the B Tech programs whereas aspirants have to pursue the B.Sc. programs from Science and Arts colleges.
Key differentiators:-
Even if B Tech and B.Sc. graduates have taken same specializations, B Tech students may have in depth knowledge about the construction, designing and other internal mechanisms concerned with a subject. However, B.Sc. students may only know about the theoretical and practical applications of the instruments, equipments or processes in their field of study.
Common Specializations in B Tech and B.Sc:-
Information Technology
Computer Science
Electrical
Electronics
Biotechnology
Career opportunities for the B Tech and B.Sc. programs
As B Tech is a high-level degree (), when comparing with B.Sc., engineering graduates can expect better employment opportunities in the industry.
