Hello;
I have enjoyed physics in my school days(during class 11th and 12th).
Now either i will go to any engineering college or get BS MS dual degree from IISER. Will i able to enjoy physics in colleges too(if i go there)?

That's a question no one knows the answer to.

Hey vkash.

One question you might want to ask yourself is whether you won't mind spending a lot of your time doing problem sets, learning mathematics (and doing problems), working with computers in different capacities (simulations, models, numerical stuff, etc) amongst lab work.
 
Or, just pick up a physics book and see if you'd like doing it. The Berkeley Physics Series are available in India for around Rs500. There's also Classical Mechanics by Kolenkow and Kleppner; another by David Morin, PhD (lol) and yet another by A.P French which are meant to be good.

Answer 1[/color]: hmmmmm... i think no.. I won't mind. I can give a long time to solve problems,
Answer 2:[/color] WOW.. its fantastic i can do it, till i understand what is happening.(I am too weak in permutation and probability).
Answer 3[/color]: I can't say anything about it..

So how was it?
