Hello,

Engineering Physics is a unique branch of engineering discipline with a combination of physics, mathematics, electrical engineering and other advanced technology subjects. It is study of basic scientific principles in designing an equipment that includes electronics, electro-mechanical systems used in measurements, communications as well as acquisition of data. Graduates in Engineering Physics are provided with a strong base in the science & physics with engineering and are prepared to find solutions for complex technological problems in nuclear science, aerospace, computing, etc.


With a good exposure and broad view on Mathematics, Material Science, Physics, Electronics, Computers & Optics, engineering physics graduates have a wide range of career options available in the research and innovation in the industry and the academia. Most of the curriculum models has emphasis on the basic physics with the underlying technology. 

Programmes offered:


B.Tech – Engineering Physics – four year programme offered by IIT Mumbai, IIT Delhi, IIT Guwahati, IIT Hyderabad, IIT Mandi, Indian School of Mines, Dhanbad.


Ther're also internship opportunity present at IISc. Bengaluru,IISER Kolkata,IIT Roorkee,DRDO,

BHEL,DoT,(Delhi),C-MET (Hyderabad),IIIT (Hyderabad),BESU, (Kolkata),Advant Technologies Inc, (Bengaluru)


Top recruiters are EATON,Applied Materials,Oracle,IBM,Mu Sigma,Wipro,ZS Associates,Axtria 


Job prospects


 In India one can get you promising job in the government organisations like the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO), Vikram Sarabhai Space Centre (VSSC), and National Physical Laboratory, and similar organizations. Teaching and research is yet another option. There are some institutions with centers funded by the central government to carry out research for central and state governments. Other jobs may include serving as aerospace engineer, nuclear engineer and materials scientist, as well as acoustical engineer, medical physicist and optical engineer. Apart from the above, there are career options available in systems engineering, teaching, medicine, law (especially intellectual property or patent law), science writing, history of science, philosophy of science, science policy, energy policy, government, or management in technical fields.
