Guidance for pursuing higher studies in physics

In summary, the conversation is about a person named Shivam Dhir from India who has just completed high school and will be starting college in 3 months. They are interested in becoming a research physicist cum engineer and are wondering which educational path would be better for their goals: pursuing a B.Tech in EE followed by a masters in physics or a BSc-MSc in physics with a specialization in electronics. They also express their determination to join MIT for their masters and ask for suggestions on how to achieve this goal. Another person in the conversation also has the same query and is looking for guidance.
