Based on the information you’ve shared—your 12th-grade score is 52%, and you want to take admission in Physics Honours at Sasu Bhushan College—here’s what you need to know:

General Eligibility for B.Sc. Physics (Honours)

Most colleges have the following eligibility criteria for Physics Honours:

Minimum 50% overall in 12th grade.

At least 45% marks in Physics and Mathematics.

Passing marks in Chemistry.

If you have 52% overall and have scored decent marks in Physics and Mathematics, you may be eligible to apply.

Hello there,

For the GITAM University Engineering Entrance Exam (Physics section) , focusing on important topics will help you prepare efficiently. Here are the key topics in Physics that are generally important:

1. Mechanics

   • Kinematics (Motion in one and two dimensions)

   • Laws of Motion (Newton’s laws)

   • Work, Energy, and Power

   • Rotational Motion and Moment of Inertia

   • Gravitation (Universal law, acceleration due to gravity)
     
     

2. Properties of Matter

   • Elasticity

   • Surface Tension

   • Viscosity
     
     

3. Thermodynamics

   • Laws of Thermodynamics

   • Heat Transfer (Conduction, Convection, Radiation)

   • Kinetic Theory of Gases
     
     

4. Oscillations and Waves

   • Simple Harmonic Motion

   • Wave Motion (Types of waves, speed, frequency)
     
     

5. Optics

   • Reflection and Refraction of Light

   • Lens and Mirror formulas

   • Optical Instruments (Microscope, Telescope)
     
     

6. Electricity and Magnetism

   • Electrostatics (Coulomb’s law, Electric field, Potential)

   • Current Electricity (Ohm’s law, Circuits)

   • Magnetic Effects of Current

   • Electromagnetic Induction
     
     

7. Modern Physics

   • Dual Nature of Matter and Radiation (Photoelectric effect)

   • Atomic Models (Bohr’s model)

   • Nuclear Physics (Radioactivity, Nuclear Reactions)

I hope this answer helps you. If you have more queries, feel free to share your questions with us, and we will be happy to assist you.

Thank you, and I wish you all the best in your bright future.

If you scored 258 on GATE Physics and got an interview call, that is good news. Even if the score is low, being shortlisted for IISc Bangalore shows that your profile is suitable for evaluation further.

IISc and other leading institutes consider additional measures besides the score from the GATE. How well someone performs, what subjects they studied, what purpose they share (if necessary) and, sometimes, prior research done may be decisive. Review the main topics of Physics and have an answer ready for any research or project you have worked on.

As a result, being shortlisted for GATE indicates that your background is seen as promising, despite not getting a very high score. Do your best in the interview since it will largely affect your final chances.

Hello Mihir,

You can take your Maths improvement exam this year (July), then wait and do your Physics and Chemistry improvement exams next year. However, be aware of the following:

1. Only one improvement attempt will be available for subject so you have to think ahead.
2. When you sit for Physics and Chemistry next year, you will be sitting with the regular 2026 board students, as CBSE exams all their students (both regular candidates and improvement) in a single sitting.
3. Your marksheet will reflect the highest/ best score from all of your attempts, so just confirm that you have the timeline or subject combinations you need for your future plans (e.g., college).

Always check with your school or the CBSE regional office to ensure you have the most up-to-date information and to obtain official confirmation.
