About
B. Tech. Engineering Physics
B. Tech.
Engineering Physics is an undergraduate degree program for four academic years.
Basic eligibility to take admission in this course is 10+2 pass with Physics,
Chemistry, and Mathematics.
This course
is designed to impart the necessary knowledge about engineering and a
specialization in physics and applied physics.
This program
is structured specifically to make the students understand all the concepts of
physics and their practical applications which include experimental techniques
and modern equipment. This is a rare course offered only by four IITs
throughout the country.
B.
Tech. Engineering Physics: What is it About?
B.
Tech.Engineering Physics course is about the engineering skills and the
specialization in the study of physics and its applications. The course is a
combination of the theoretical concepts and application of the theory part of
the concepts of physics. It is a vigorous study of concepts like semiconductor
devices, electromagnetics, thermodynamics etc.
This course
ensures employment in the educational field if a person wants to pursue further
study in the physics field and in the research field. B. Tech. Engineering
Physics course provides the applied knowledge of physics and science
disciplines.
The course is
designed very efficiently. It is a combination of theory and practice. The
first two semesters of the course are general for all the students of different
specializations, however, from third semester onwards, students are taught
according to their specialization.
B.
Tech. Engineering Physics syllabus has a combination of core courses and
electives which are mandatory for every student, along with these, students are
also required to undergo a training program or an internship outside the college
campus.
B.
Tech. Engineering Physics: Eligibility
The minimum
eligibility criteria for a student to take admission in B.
Tech. Engineering Physics course is that the student must have passed
in the class XII examination which subjects as Physics, Chemistry, and
Mathematics from any recognized board.
B.
Tech. Engineering Physics: Admission Process
Admission to
B. Tech. Engineering Physics is done through entrance exam conducted at
national level. Since this course is offered by mostly IITs only so admission
criteria for this course is JEE Advanced. However JEE Main is the first stage
for appearing in JEE Advanced. Some institutes other than IITs offer admission
on the basis of JEE Main.
Selection
Process:
The students
are selected on the basis of their performance in the entrance exam and marks
in board exams. Weighatge given to entrance exam is 60% and board marks is
40%. After which an All India Rank List is prepared and shortlisted
candidates are called for the counseling session held at IITs on the basis of
that rank list. During these counseling sessions, students are asked to choose
their choice of engineering from various courses given to them on the basis of
their ranks in the entrance exam.
B.
Tech. Engineering Physics: Who should opt?
Any student
who has a passionate inclination towards the subject of physics and wants to
learn it through an engineering perspective should opt for this course. This
course is about the new developments in the field of physics, concepts of high
technology and instrumentation.
The course
provides a platform to the students to learn the core courses offered to all
engineering students which develop the skills and aptitude necessary for an
engineer along with the conceptual and theoretical aspects of physics which are
essential for the specialization in physics engineering.
B.
Tech. Engineering Physics: Career Prospects
The major
career options after B. Tech. Engineering Physics are in organizations like
Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO), Vikram Sarabhai Space Centre,
Microsoft, Applied Research International and National Physical Laboratory
mainly, but also many other research institutes in India and abroad.
Academic
Options after B.Tech. Engineering Physics
If you are
enthusiastic about pursuing research in Physics, you have the option of
pursuing Ph.D. in Physics from a reputed university. Apart from this, you can
pursue M.Tech in the same specialization. There are various universities in
India and abroad that offer masters or doctoral program for engineering physics
graduates.
