IIT Hyderabad is an excellent institution, but its placement record in engineering is dismal. Because most students choose higher education, physics isn't very excellent. Engineering physics, unlike conventional engineering disciplines, is not restricted to a single field of science or physics. Looking at the same placement records are also not that great. The average CTC one can easily grab in 30 LPA but the job opportunities available are in varied fields like in applied physics for a selected specialty such as optics  , quantum physics , materials science , applied mechanics , nanotechnology  , microfabrication , mechanical engineering , biophysics , control theory , aerodynamics , energy ), solid-state physics .

Hope this helps.
