AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on transitioning from a B.Tech in electronics engineering to pursuing a career in physics, specifically preparing for the GRE Physics exam. Key points include the need for guidance on how to start GRE preparation, the feasibility of switching fields, and the difficulty associated with this transition. Participants discuss the required GRE scores for admission into reputable universities in the US and Europe, emphasizing the importance of a strong score for competitive applications. Suggestions for additional activities to enhance admission chances are also sought. Furthermore, recommendations for GRE preparation books covering topics like classical mechanics, relativity, electromagnetism, statistical physics, atomic and nuclear physics, and experimental physics are requested. The user expresses a preference for information focused on opportunities in Europe rather than the US.

Hello friends

I hve done B.Tech in electronics engineering from ISM dhanbad, a premier engineering institute in India. And I have a very core interest in physics from very early but i couldn't choose physics after my school due to some reason.
Now, I am finally decided to pursue physics ahead and I am starting to prepare GRE physics. Need help about " how to start"... "from where to start" ?
And I also want to know whether it will be possible to switch or not ... how tough it is? How much score in GRE physics should I need to get admission in a good university in US or Europe ? What extra should I do to increase my chances ?
And kindle suggest some books for GRE preparation ? ( for classical mechanics, relativity, E&M Statistical Physics, Atom & Nuclear physics and for experimental part also)

Please help !

Thanks ZapperZ ! the link was useful ! But I need more detail for my question... ! I am more interested in europe than US ! Help !
 
TL;DR Summary: I want to do a PhD in applied math but I hate group theory, is this a big problem? Hello, I am a second-year math and physics double major with a minor in data science. I just finished group theory (today actually), and it was my least favorite class in all of university so far. It doesn't interest me, and I am also very bad at it compared to other math courses I have done. The other courses I have done are calculus I-III, ODEs, Linear Algebra, and Prob/Stats. Is it a...
Yesterday, 9/5/2025, when I was surfing, I found an article The Schwarzschild solution contains three problems, which can be easily solved - Journal of King Saud University - Science ABUNDANCE ESTIMATION IN AN ARID ENVIRONMENT https://jksus.org/the-schwarzschild-solution-contains-three-problems-which-can-be-easily-solved/ that has the derivation of a line element as a corrected version of the Schwarzschild solution to Einstein’s field equation.
