Hello everyone,

I have an MTech in Electrical Engg from IIT Madras(India). As I have been considering to change my field I want to do MSc. in Physics. My question is, am I allowed to do it in the first place after being and Mtech. in Engineering already?


Thanks

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.
