Which would be better for an MSc. in physics, IIT Ropar or IIT Mandi?

AB

Rather than answering your question directly, I will answer in such a way that will help you answer it yourself in the best possible way. It’s always best to make your decision in your own. Others can only guide you, the ultimate decision should be made by you. MSc is a degree that opens 3 opportunities, 

  • Higher studies like a PhD
  • Placement in a private university as a faculty through the IIT campus placement
  • Joining a coaching Institute.

Higher Studies: For this, the primary step is to go through the course structures of both the IITs and look at the faculty list and their respective research areas. See if their areas of research align with your interest. Some advanced courses will be introduced which might vary from IIT to IIT. So analyzing the people and course structures is way more important than just choosing the institute.

Placement: Unfortunately, MSc has very limited placement options and chances of landing a good job are bleak even if you are from an active old IIT.

Joining a coaching institute should be your last option.

How is an MSc in physics at BITS Goa?

SP
Sharmistha Pradhan Posted On : August 2nd, 2021
Studied at University of Mumbai (2019)

BITS is known worldwide these days for its academic culture and its off-the-charts placements. According to some of my friends studying there, M.Sc courses are some of the best courses available in BITS and all its branches.

  • M.Sc is excellent at BITS Goa and they offer lots of job and research opportunities.
  • With the tag of BITS, it will be very easy for students to pursue their further studies such as Ph.D., Hons. from top universities across the globe.
  • The academic knowledge and exposure they would receive from the course in BITS Goa are really valuable.
  • BITS Goa has an excellent team of Physics and professionals in their line of the field.
  • If topics such as quantum physics, quantum mechanics, waves, and black holes spark your interest then M.Sc. in physics would be a very good option for you.
  • BITS is also known for having world-class labs that are equipped with the latest and high-tech tools for the betterment of the students.
  • BITS Goa has collaborations and tie-ups with some of the leading institutes of the world and students get a chance in foreign students exchange programs.

M.Sc in physics, chemistry, or Maths won’t certainly give you the placement you wish for but it will still be good. Placements in M.Sc PCMB are great when the student gets CSE as the engineering branch in the next few years. Also, M.Sc in Economics is very good when it comes to placements and does not depend on the branch you will be getting in the 2nd year based on your CGPA.
