Hello Anagha,unfortunately,harldy there is any government college that is going to provide you an degree in Engibeering Physics but you always have a way with private colleges.But,as usual,they will charge too much.I will suggest to take a drop year.

Thanks for connecting.Team Careers360.

Hello,

Engineering Physics is a unique branch of engineering discipline with a combination of physics, mathematics, electrical engineering and other advanced technology subjects. It is study of basic scientific principles in designing an equipment that includes electronics, electro-mechanical systems used in measurements, communications as well as acquisition of data. Graduates in Engineering Physics are provided with a strong base in the science & physics with engineering and are prepared to find solutions for complex technological problems in nuclear science, aerospace, computing, etc.

With a good exposure and broad view on Mathematics, Material Science, Physics, Electronics, Computers & Optics, engineering physics graduates have a wide range of career options available in the research and innovation in the industry and the academia. Most of the curriculum models has emphasis on the basic physics with the underlying technology. 

Programmes offered:

B.Tech – Engineering Physics – four year programme offered by IIT Mumbai, IIT Delhi, IIT Guwahati, IIT Hyderabad, IIT Mandi, Indian School of Mines, Dhanbad.

Ther're also internship opportunity present at IISc. Bengaluru,IISER Kolkata,IIT Roorkee,DRDO,

BHEL,DoT,(Delhi),C-MET (Hyderabad),IIIT (Hyderabad),BESU, (Kolkata),Advant Technologies Inc, (Bengaluru)

Top recruiters are EATON,Applied Materials,Oracle,IBM,Mu Sigma,Wipro,ZS Associates,Axtria 

Job prospects

 In India one can get you promising job in the government organisations like the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO), Vikram Sarabhai Space Centre (VSSC), and National Physical Laboratory, and similar organizations. Teaching and research is yet another option. There are some institutions with centers funded by the central government to carry out research for central and state governments. Other jobs may include serving as aerospace engineer, nuclear engineer and materials scientist, as well as acoustical engineer, medical physicist and optical engineer. Apart from the above, there are career options available in systems engineering, teaching, medicine, law (especially intellectual property or patent law), science writing, history of science, philosophy of science, science policy, energy policy, government, or management in technical fields.

Thank you!                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                

To become a scientist at ISRO one first needs to have opted Math and Physics as his subjects at 10+2 level and have a thorough basic knowledge of these subjects. Getting admission in IIST (Indian Institute of Space Science and Technology) can be the easiest ticket to get absorbed in ISRO as a scientist/engineer

Dear Aspirant

We understand your concerns. However, the cut off marks and ranks vary every year depending upon certain criterias such as the number of students appearing, the total availability of seats, the difficulty levels of the question papers etc, so it might be tough to predict the exact marks required. For Pwd category specifically, the cut off marks of both JEE mains and JEE advanced go very low, compared to other categories. You need to qualify both of the exams firstly, and fall under the Pwd ranks, which are reserved seats in a course at an institute. If IIT Delhi has 2-3 seats reserved for Pwd category, you have to come before other category students to avail the seat.

Hope this helps!!!

Dear aspirant,

Off late, a trend observed in the UPSC civil services exam results have been the increasing number of engineers clearing the exam. This also includes students from the top engineering colleges in the country like the IITs. While there is a vast difference between an engineering course and the General Studies subjects one has to learn as part of the UPSC syllabus, a huge number of engineering students are joining the IAS bandwagon in recent years. One can no longer pinpoint the CSAT as the cause for this since this paper was made a qualifying one in 2015. Perhaps it has something to do with the call of an illustrious career in the civil services, or with better employment prospects in case the IAS dream comes to naught. Whatever be the reason, engineering students make a huge chunk of the aspirants’ crowd. This article will answer the question “How to prepare for IAS during B.tech?” or “How to prepare for IAS during engineering?”. You will also read about tips to juggle your engineering course and the IAS preparation successfully.

How to prepare for IAS while doing engineering?

FIRST THINGS FIRST

If you have decided that your career is in the civil services even as you pursue your engineering, start now! Collect all the data you can grab your hands on about the UPSC exam. Go through the UPSC syllabus thoroughly and ask yourself if you are up to it. If the answer is ‘Yes’, download the UPSC syllabus and internalize it. After this, you should familiarise yourself with the UPSC IAS exam pattern and format. Then, you should start reading the daily newspaper judiciously and make it a habit.

UPSC STUDY MATERIAL

Even as you pursue your engineering, you should start your IAS preparation. It is going to be hectic and exhausting at time, but the struggle will be worthwhile in the end when your IAS dream materialises. Start with basic books like the NCERTs. Then, as you progress, you should upgrade to higher textbooks. Also, you must decide on your optional subject and start its preparation too. It would be a good idea to take up engineering itself since you are already studying it for your graduation. However, this is an entirely personal decision. You could also take up other subjects that have a strong GS overlap.

Point to note: The UPSC offers three engineering subjects as optional: Electrical, Civil and Mechanical

Check the optional syllabi before fixing on an optional subject.

MAKE A SCHEDULE

Since you would be juggling your engineering course as well with your IAS preparation, it should be well-understood that time would be a scarce commodity here. You have to make a time table for your daily routine and stick with it. Chart out specific times for both studies keeping in mind your semester exams and projects. Also, remember to read the newspaper daily. You should also start reading a good magazine (Yojana, Kurukshetra) to aid your current affairs segment.

You can always rely on BYJU’S Free IAS Prep to help you with your current affairs section. We bring you the crux of the daily news regularly every day in our Comprehensive News Analysis section (CNA). You can also refer to our ‘Gist of Yojana’ and ‘Best of PIB’ for a ready-reckoner of the Yojana magazine and PIB sections.

If you are starting your IAS preparation while you are pursuing your engineering, you could not be in a better position notwithstanding the hard work! If you clear the UPSC exam after your engineering course itself, you can be one of the youngest to clear this tough exam and also get a head start in your career. There have been toppers in the past who cleared the IAS exam by preparing for it while they were engaged in their engineering courses. Last year’s rank 2 holder Anmol Sher Singh Bedi and rank 4 holder Saumya Pandey had all started their preparation while they were in engineering colleges. You can repeat their feat too with the right approach and focused determination.

Hope the answer is helpful. 

All the best!

If you are really interested in Engineering Physics or doing research in that field then it is very good option. In Engineering Physics you basically have to study the topics which you study in general physics like quantum is the most important of all and like that only ther topics are also there. 

See placements are also good in this course , but mostly people go for phd and research programs in US or Germany etc.

So you have both options.

Thank you.

If you are passionate about engineering physics , then only you are going for IIT Delhi. See if you talk about placements then it is no less than core jobs. Companies visit exclusively for Engineering Physics just like google visiting for CS students.

So only one thing is required , you should be maintaining your grad i.e. CG. The better your cg is more the chances of getting placements as rest the IIT tag does.

You also have another option going for higher studies in USA or GERMANY.

Hope it helps.

Thank You.
