I can see from your posts that you are very passionate about doing Physics.I made the wrong decision of going into Engineering degree.If you really love to do physics,think twice before getting into Engineering.

Look up IISER Dual degree programs too!

Unfortunately, Bose is not a house hold name here.But it should be Bose, he is a great physicist.:approve:

I think you should take this one step at a time. There are good places to do physics like IISc,Bangalore. Getting admission into them is also really difficult. I didn't know about all these institutes when I was in High school. You should definitely consider IIT as your first option. Oh...

Hi akshay! Welcome to PF You need to study hard and do a integrated BS-MS program in physics offered by IIT's in India. You need to prepare for IIT-JEE exam and get a good score. To become a physicist, you would need a PhD in Physics.

Yeah,the report does not contain any details as such. He might be having other problems in his mind.

Yeah, I read a lot of your threads and I know that a lot of factors account for getting a job. Suppose someone wants do a Doctoral degree in High Energy theory. Do you think it's better to switch to employable fields like Condensed matter and Accelerator Physics??

Oh! I don't know about other countries. In India, the unemployment rates for a PhD are really high about 13%. As I am thinking of getting a graduate degree in Physics, this really terrifies me..

The point I am trying to make is he didn't kill himself for nothing. He could not find a job and under employed in a call center which eventually caused the depression. Don't you think the job market for physics graduates is becoming more difficult?

I am not under estimating the impotance of Engineers,I am studying an Engineering degree. But, I feel physics graduates are equally important for the growth. For example,consider the possibility of a quantum computer.Research in such a subject can bring a revolution in processor speed and technolgy.

Well, people don't into Doctoral degrees for making money or getting great paying jobs. They really love their subject and passionate about it. You might say there is no need for higher educated people but the world progressed a lot due to these people. Without the fundamental laws of physics...

Very sad story but true.Philip Elliott recently completed his doctorate degree in Physics. He was not able to find any job and decided to take a call center job. Graduate Programs are supposed to make people successful in academia. I feel very sorry for this guy. Here is the full story...

Hey there! I am from India…But you have to be more specific with your question if you are expecting anyone to answer.There are some good IIT colleges,Tifr and hri etc. Are you a undergraduate??

I think that`s really great.How do you manage to get a job?Thanks for the response! Edit:Just looked up your profile. You did a Phd. in Computer Science first. Thanks for the links! Well,I am looking to do a Masters course in India.But,most of the Universities in India do not maintain high...

I want to do a Phd but right now I am just focussing on my Masters.I am already 22.So,I expect 2-3 years for masters and then maybe Phd. Am I too late to change my field?I don't want to end up my life unsuccessful after completing my masters.
