Many universities require a B.S. degree in physics for admission to their MS programs in physics, which can pose challenges for B.Tech students with a background in mathematics or computer science. Those who have transitioned from a B.Tech to an MS in physics often had to complete additional undergraduate physics courses to meet prerequisites. The expectation is that students entering the MS program have a solid understanding of undergraduate physics topics, including mathematical physics, quantum mechanics, and thermodynamics. The classification of the B.Tech degree can vary by region, with some institutions viewing it as more vocational and less academic, which may affect eligibility for graduate studies. Prospective students are encouraged to verify specific admission requirements with their chosen universities.
