    Mathematics Msc
AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on the confusion surrounding educational choices after a less-than-ideal IIT JEE rank. The original poster, who scored 5785, is considering pursuing an M.Sc. in physics or mathematics. Participants emphasize that the decision should be based on genuine interest in basic sciences rather than rank. They suggest attending counseling to apply for desired courses rather than settling for less. The conversation also touches on other exam ranks, such as AIEEE and CEE, with advice indicating that a rank of 4531 in AIEEE could still lead to a decent program at an NIT. The dialogue highlights the importance of passion for the subject in making educational decisions.

i am in confusion. i recently cleared my iitjee exam. but unfortunately my rank is not that good. i just wanted to enquire whether taking a Msc. course in physics or mathematics is a good choice.

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:
 
Oh.. i got 5785 only..
 
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?
 
After a year of thought, I decided to adjust my ratio for applying the US/EU(+UK) schools. I mostly focused on the US schools before, but things are getting complex and I found out that Europe is also a good place to study. I found some institutes that have professors with similar interests. But gaining the information is much harder than US schools (like you have to contact professors in advance etc). For your information, I have B.S. in engineering (low GPA: 3.2/4.0) in Asia - one SCI...
I graduated with a BSc in Physics in 2020. Since there were limited opportunities in my country (mostly teaching), I decided to improve my programming skills and began working in IT, first as a software engineer and later as a quality assurance engineer, where I’ve now spent about 3 years. While this career path has provided financial stability, I’ve realized that my excitement and passion aren’t really there, unlike what I felt when studying or doing research in physics. Working in IT...
Hello, I’m an undergraduate student pursuing degrees in both computer science and physics. I was wondering if anyone here has graduated with these degrees and applied to a physics graduate program. I’m curious about how graduate programs evaluated your applications. In addition, if I’m interested in doing research in quantum fields related to materials or computational physics, what kinds of undergraduate research experiences would be most valuable?
