There are several options for B.Sc in physics if you choose to pursue higher studies. Otherwise, mere graduate degree is just sufficient for couple of govt. jobs.
You can apply for JAM (55% is minimum required in B.Sc for applying in JAM) and can go for a Masters degree from any IITs. Not only in physics but also you can apply for energy science. However, if these are the pros then the cons are that even M.Sc in physics is not enough to get a job from IITs. It's the bitter truth that once you land yourself in general science stream, the only way to survive is higher studies. Although, it is not always possible for every student due to several valid reasons but I would strictly advice you to go for PhD. During your Masters, you should apply for an internship in reputed and premiere institutes in India and abroad. This will add another feather in your resume and also, can help you to apply for Ph.D in that institute later some time. Nowadays, AICTE has some bizarre rules for selecting faculties in any institute. So, if you don't have any other options then only change your stream else continue the same flow.

You have done your class 12th with Science. With the combination of biology, physics and chemistry you can take up medicine, dentistry, Pharmacy, agricultural Science, dairy Science or biological sciences (biochemistry, biotechnology, Microbiology). Apart from doing the degree level courses in Science with the conventional combinations you can also choose degree courses in several emerging professional areas, such as physiotherapy, occupational therapy, nursing, computer, business administration, hotel management, tourism management etc. You can also opt for courses outside the university stream, such as hotel management, fashion technology, industrial design, packaging, aircraft maintenance engineering, government accredited computer courses and a host of post 10 + 2 level vocational courses.
