MSc. in Physics after MTech in Engineering

AI Thread Summary
An individual with an MTech in Electrical Engineering from IIT Madras is considering a transition to an MSc in Physics and seeks clarification on eligibility. The consensus is that eligibility largely depends on the specific university's requirements. Generally, having a B.Tech in a physics-related field qualifies one for MSc Physics entrance exams, and an MTech is seen as advantageous. Many Indian institutions, including IISc and IITs, provide detailed prerequisites for their courses online, which can help clarify any uncertainties regarding admission criteria. It is recommended to directly contact the universities for specific guidance.

That would depend on the university. Can you contact them?
 
As long as you have a B.Tech from physics related field, you are eligible for MSc Physics entrance. Some colleges take an interview too after a written test. Having an M.Tech would be more than enough.
If you still have a doubt almost all the Indian colleges(IISc, IIT, etc) post the prerequisites for their courses online. You"ll have to search a bit.
