hi friends,
i am studying engineering final year in electronics and communication engineering.(no minor)
my gre score:1300/1600(q:800 v:500 awa:2/6)
my undergraduate score: 73/100
no publications
no internships
i want to do ph.d in theoretical physics, i don't know much about fields in physics.What i can do right now is i can score good marks in gre physics(say 900+).
i need a basic m.s program which can help me to study the physics and maths and helps me to find out my research area interest.
please suggest me some universities where there is a m.s program by that i can get a idea about fields in physics

FAQ: What are some top universities for a Master's degree in Physics?

What is the difference between B.Tech and Ph.D in Physics?

B.Tech in Physics is an undergraduate degree that focuses on the fundamental principles of physics and its applications. Ph.D in Physics, on the other hand, is a research-based doctoral degree that delves deeper into a specific area of physics and requires original research.

Can I pursue a Ph.D in Physics after completing my B.Tech degree?

Yes, B.Tech graduates can apply for a Ph.D in Physics program. However, most universities require applicants to have a strong academic background in physics, mathematics, and research experience.

How long does it take to complete a Ph.D in Physics after B.Tech?

The duration of a Ph.D in Physics program can vary depending on the university, research area, and individual progress. On average, it takes about 4-6 years to complete a Ph.D program after B.Tech.

What are the career opportunities after completing a Ph.D in Physics?

A Ph.D in Physics opens up a wide range of career opportunities in academia, research institutes, government agencies, and private companies. Some common job roles include research scientist, professor, data analyst, and consultant.

How much does it cost to pursue a Ph.D in Physics after B.Tech?

The cost of pursuing a Ph.D in Physics can vary depending on the university, country, and research area. In most cases, Ph.D students receive a stipend or scholarship to cover their tuition fees and living expenses.
