Discussion Overview

The discussion revolves around the possibility of pursuing an M.Tech in Astronomy after completing a B.Tech in IT in India. Participants explore educational pathways and requirements related to this transition, including alternative options such as an M.Sc. in Physics with a specialization in Astronomy.

Discussion Character

  • Exploratory, Debate/contested

Main Points Raised

  • One participant inquires about the feasibility of pursuing an M.Tech in Astronomy after a B.Tech in IT.
  • Another participant expresses uncertainty about the availability of such a course in India, suggesting an M.Sc. in Physics with a specialization in Astronomy as an alternative.
  • A different participant reiterates the uncertainty regarding the existence of the M.Tech program and questions the possibility of pursuing an M.Sc. after completing an engineering degree.
  • Some participants argue that it is indeed possible to pursue an M.Sc. after engineering, but emphasize the need to pass entrance exams that require knowledge of B.Sc. (Physics) subjects, which may not be thoroughly covered in engineering curricula.

Areas of Agreement / Disagreement

Participants express differing views on the availability of an M.Tech in Astronomy and the feasibility of transitioning from engineering to a physics-based master's program. There is no consensus on the pathways available or the requirements needed.

Contextual Notes

Participants highlight potential limitations regarding the knowledge base required for entrance exams and the differences in curriculum between engineering and physics programs.

Is it possible for me to pursue Mtech in Astronomy after Btech in IT, in India? Please help
 
Physics news on Phys.org
Please guide me guys!
 
I'm not sure that there is any course as such in India.However if you are really interested then you can do an M.Sc. in physics with spcialization in astronomy.

But I don't think it is possible to do an MSc after engineering.

Oh it is very much possible but for that you will have to clear M.Sc. entrance exams which will require knowledge of B.Sc.(physics) subjects which I don't think are taught in that much details in engineering courses.
