With a CRL rank of 381,094 and OBC-NCL rank of 136,581, admission to IIT Patna’s BS-MS program is very unlikely because the cutoffs are much lower. This program is highly competitive. You can consider other state or private engineering colleges where your rank fits better. Improving your rank by preparing for JEE Main again is a good idea. Also, IIT Patna’s BS-MS program requires good board marks and clearing entrance tests like IITP-SAT. Let me know if you want help finding other options!

Hello Aspirant,

If you get admitted into the B.S. program at IIT Madras this year and this year happens to be your first JEE Advanced attempt, then yes, you will remain eligible to take JEE Advanced again next year if you satisfy the other eligibility norms laid down by the conducting authorities of the exam. The important thing is that the candidate gets two chances at JEE Advanced at the most, and these chances have to come within two successive years from the year when they first appeared for the test. Since you are trying for the first time, you have one chance remaining for the next year.

But once you are admitted into an IIT undergraduate course, you cannot sit for JEE Advanced again to get into the same course. But if you are interested in a different course or a double degree (such as B.Tech + M.Tech), you may want to look up the particular rules from the JEE Advanced official website or the IITs.

IISc Bangalore doesn't offer a BS-MS in Physics, but it does offer a BS (Research) in Physics.

2024 Cutoff (General Category):

JEE Advanced: Up to Rank 1,095

JEE Main: Up to Rank 903

IISER Aptitude Test (IAT): Rank 38

For BS-MS in Physics, check IISERs like IISER Pune, not IISc.

Hii,

Yes, you can do MTech in Astronautical Engineering after a BS-MS in Astrophysics (Physics), but it depends on the college.

• Most MTech programs in India expect a BTech degree, but some IITs and IISc offer interdisciplinary or research-based MTech/MS programs where Physics students are eligible.

• You may need to appear for GATE in Physics (PH).

• Always check the specific eligibility criteria of the college you're applying to.

• If you’re open to studying abroad, many universities accept Astrophysics students for MS in Aerospace/Astronautics.
