Msc. physics/applied mathematics from IIT

In summary, the person is confused about their career path after receiving a mediocre rank in their IITJEE exam. They are considering pursuing a M.Sc. in physics or mathematics, but are unsure if it is a good choice. The other person suggests focusing on their genuine interest and attending counseling to apply for their desired course. They also mention their AIEEE and CEE scores, and ask about the other person's desired stream and college.

Doing M.Sc. in physics or mathematics has got nothing to do with good or bad rank. If you are genuinely interested in doing basic sciences, I would suggest you to go for it, else you won't be able to do full justice to the subject or your life.

What bad rank did you get anyway?:smile:

ok. I think( and i didn't do this when I was in a similar position) you should just go to the counseling and apply for the course you wanted to do( NOT what you can get now) . What about other things like AIEEE, etc?

Aieee i got 4531 rank..general category.Since i am in Delhi, i also had written CEE in which i got 175 rank. So what did you join? which is better NSIT or DCE ?

lol I made kind of eccentric choice, let's talk about you only:wink:

I am not from delhi, so don't really know which ones better, sorry. AIEEE that rank can get you decent stream from a decent NIT (again that's the case when I was there, things must've changed now). What stream/college did you want?
