Schools Which colleges in India are best for physics and/or mathematics BSc MSc and PhD?

AI Thread Summary
In considering a career in research, particularly in mathematics, it's essential to explore the research opportunities at various institutes such as IIT Kanpur, IISc Bangalore, and IISERs. Each of these institutions offers mathematics programs, and prospective students should examine faculty profiles to identify professors conducting research in their specific areas of interest. If a particular research focus is not a concern, prioritizing entrance exams like JEE is advisable. Additionally, CUET UG provides access to reputable institutions like JNU and DU, while options like IIT JAM after a BSc or NET after an MSc can further facilitate entry into prestigious research programs.

In 12th and considering a career in research. Ik most of the collages ( IIT Kanpur, IISc Bangalore, IISERs etc ) but I am not sure of the research possibilities provided so if anyone can help out please do

Maths is available in every institute, be it IISER, IIT or the IISc. People also aim for ISI. If you are interested in pursuing a particular field in mathematics as your master's thesis, then look up the faculty profiles of each institute and check if there is at least one Professor pursuing research in that field. If there is no such restriction, focus on the entrance exam for now. Best of luck for the JEE! Also, don't forget CUET UG; you can always try IIT JAM after a BSc to get into IIT, or NET after MSc. CUET has some good institutes like JNU and DU.

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...
I have a specialization in condensed matter physics and materials physics, and off-late, I have been seeing a lot of research directions moving towards quantum computing (AMO and non-linear optics) and the huge chunk of quantum materials research (and funding) is dedicated towards QIS and QC research. I am wondering (sort of in a dilemma), if I should consider switching my field? I am currently at the stage of a postdoc.
