Hello All..This is Elsa from Freshersworld.com
Welcome to our video channel on jobs and careers
Today I will be talking about the career options you can have in Physics
Physics is one of the fundamental sciences. It has various applications; some of them
may be interdisciplinary, in science, engineering and technology. A person who wants to pursue
his career in physics has got ample opportunities in astronomy & astrophysics, biophysics, meteorology,
nuclear physics, medical physics, geophysics, engineering, technology, architecture etc.
A career in physics merely depends upon the person’s interest and depth of knowledge in that subject.
In India, there are various educational courses for physics like B.Sc. or B. Tech (Bachelor
in Science or Technology). There are many interesting post graduation courses like 5
years integrated M. Sc. (Master in Science) or M. Tech. (Master in Technology). Following
these, there are few opportunities available for Doctorate degree or Ph. D in Physics.
Most of the admissions to these courses take place after successfully passing the screening
tests. If not the screening tests, the candidate is required to secure more than or equal to
the stipulated percentage in his 12th grade. For B. Tech, JEE score is taken into consideration
along with completion of 12th grade.
Prestigious institutes like IISc (Indian Institute of Science, Bangalore), TIFR (Tata Institute
of Fundamental Research, Mumbai), JNU (Delhi), IIST (Indian Institute of Space science and
Technology, Thiruvananthapuram), Satyendra Nath Bose National Centre for Basic Sciences,
Kolkata provide various courses in Physics. It is also important for candidate to see
from where he is completing his education in Physics. In fact, this is one of the criteria
during job recruitment. Some distance learning courses by IGNOU (Indira
Gandhi Open University) or other distance learning Open Universities are also available
for those who are working but wish to learn Physics and get required qualification.
There are many foreign universities which are offering brilliant graduation and post
graduation courses in Physics. As in foreign universities, especially in the US, more thrust
is given upon interdisciplinary education. Universities like John Hopkins, Stanford,
Columbia, Cornell, Caltech or University of Maryland are actively providing courses in
Physics. Therefore, a candidate can collaborate with other interesting subject along with
Physics. For example: Physics with Medical Engineering
Some foreign universities even provide online courses in Physics to which, anyone in the world can apply.
A Physicist can get job in either academics
or in industry. In academics, a candidate can get a job of lecturer, teacher, professor
etc. Other jobs are like laboratory technician, librarian etc. In industry or research organisations,
a Physicist can get job as a scientist, Atomic technician, Biomedical Engineer, Medical physicist,
Geophysicist, Nanotechnologist, Nuclear Physicist, Optics & laser technician, Plasma particle
technician, Robotics technician, Space physicist etc.
A physicist is employed by research and development centres, industries or educational institutions.
Well known institutes are as given below: • Defence Research and Development Organization
(DRDO) • Indian Institute of Tropical Meteorology,
Pune • Indian Astro-physics Institute, Bengaluru
• Aryabhatta Research Observatory, Nainital • Nuclear Fuel Campus, Hyderabad
• Bhabha Atomic Research Centre, Mumbai • Institute for Plasma Research, Ahmedabad
• Physics Institute, Bhubaneswar • Physical Research Laboratory, Ahmedabad
• Tata Institute of Fundamental Research, Mumbai
• Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO), Bangalore
• Saha Institute of Nuclear Physics, Kolkata
There are many more big and small institutes untiringly working in the field of Physics
