‘Physics is essential to understand the universe’

Indeed, Physics, as a subject is lovable. Leave alone the jobs that the subject offers. Physics helps one to develop a variety of skills that can be applied in life. Solving problems pragmatically and analytically, reasoning with logical arguments, graphic presentation of information, practical skills for planning and executing, encouraging to pay attention to details, to communicate complex ideas in a correct way, physics is present ethereally in our lives. The idea that the subject has a limited scope is absolutely deceiving. It is as limitless as your inner potential. 

Physics can be applied in many fields and this way physics can be a springboard to other domains. You don’t really need anything professional in Master’s if you have developed a love for the subject as early as your secondary school. You can pursue Master’s in Physics with numerous possibilities. There are as many as 200 and more Master’s programmes in Physics in India and overseas universities. 

Interestingly, Physics graduates get no less opportunity in the public sector. A candidate with Bachelor’s degree in Physics could write Union/ State Public Service Commission, Staff Selection Commission, Indian Forest Services, Public Sector Bank, Indian Defense Services. Each sector presents multiple scopes. 

A lucid survey puts that very high percentage of all ‘physicists’ are working in medicine and industry (aerospace and defence, energy, engineering, instrumentation, manufacturing, Oil & Gas, Telecommunications).

Go ahead and explore how the world works. It is full of miracles and mysteries. Physics is not just the fundamental subject of all the sciences, it is also essential to observe and understand the natural universe. 

Like Galileo, Stephen Hawking to our own C. V. Raman and A. P. J. Abdul Kalam, both undergraduates in Physics, you could demonstrate your ability to solve challenges with your creative thinking. They have attempted to answer deep philosophical questions through scientific knowledge. 

Your love for the subject is justifiable. Abdul Kalam developed a love for Physics in your age. The rest is history. History could repeat with your story!
