What's disturbing? I'm not surprised that CS enrollment is declining. Even before the AI boom, the CS new grad market was overcorrecting from the 2019-2021 era of CS grads easily being able to get jobs.

I don't think the UI allows me to tell if a thread is new to me, either. AFAICT it just shows a few words from the title of the most recent thread.

On mobile, when looking at the forum categories on the homepage (e.g. stem advising), I can't see when the most recent post was made, which I could before. This is important to me because it allows me to tell at a glance if there's a new thread I should check out. (Is the most recent thread a...

There are definitely companies where robustness and correctness is a priority (e.g. defense, trading). It seems like you might enjoy working as a developer at a quantitative trading company - the jobs are hard to get, but the focus (low level code (usually c++) with an emphasis on avoiding...

What is the cost of setting up your bills to auto-deduct from your account?

Do you mean any CS/math problems that are challenging (e.g. this: https://www.janestreet.com/puzzles/current-puzzle/ ) or stuff like automata theory / P=NP? Can you expand on why you feel that software engineering isn't in line with your interests? There are places that prefer students with a...

Try speaking with faculty at your institution working in computational physics/chem/bio or applying ML to physical/chemical/biological phenomena (often termed "scientific ML"), and see if you can join their lab more on the CS side while you transition to physics/chem/bio. Your background in...

If the math and derivations are what interest you, then go for the applied math degree and then do a master's in (theoretical) physics.

Try asking at reddit.com/r/developersindia or /r/indian_academia or /r/GATEtard, as these communities will have more Indian users with relevant experience or knowledge. E.g.

As a first course in university level EM? Maybe Ohanian, but I'm pretty sure Wangsness is graduate level

This seems to be meant to be read after a first quantum physics course

Also, if your physics background is at the JEE Advanced level, you probably won't need a basic physics book like Serway or Giancoli

Purcell/Griffiths for EM Morin for Classical Mechanics Shankar or Zweibach for QM Kittel for Thermal Physics Riley Hobson Bence for math methods David Tong's notes are also an excellent resource: https://davidtong.org/teaching/

Can you take physical chemistry? That should cover some basic thermodynamics and quantum physics. Can you take physics courses as an independent study or guided reading with a professor?

In the US, the most competitive universities practice holistic admissions, so a score beyond the 99th percentile doesn't benefit you much vs a score around the 99th percentile. What differentiates the large number of students within the 99th percentile is their extracurricular activities.
