B.Sc Hons in Physics About
BSc Physics Honours is a 3-years undergraduate course which is pursued by students who are interested in an in-depth knowledge of the principles of Physics and its practical application & theories. The course provides a deep understanding of various concepts of Quantum Mechanics, Electromagnetism, Nuclear etc and covers a wide range of phenomena, from the smallest subatomic particles to largest galaxies.
Students who have completed 10+2 in the science stream with a minimum aggregate score of 50% marks are eligible to pursue BSc Physics Honours. Candidates need to qualify entrance exams such as UPSEE, TS EAMCET, BHU UET, PUCET, etc. conducted at University or National level for admissions.
Why study BSc Physics Honours?
Candidates who are interested in Physics and wishing to develop their career in the field of science should pursue BSc Physics Honours. Although the course offers numerous benefits, some of the advantages of the course are listed below.
The BSc Physics Honours course is designed to provide in-depth knowledge of Physics and its various concepts/ theories of advanced Physics.
The course trains the students to perform several research projects of various topics of Physics including Light, Sound, Radiation, etc.
There is a wide range of opportunities for graduates of this career field.
The BSc Physics Honours course offers great help to candidates wishing to get hired in top reputed companies in India such as ISRO, DRDO, BARC, etc.
The average initial after completing the course ranges from INR 2,00,000 to 3,50,000 per year which is quite good as compared to other low paying courses.
Students, after completing the course, can apply for a master's degree and research courses in the same field that will improve their academic background and will also increase the salary range.
BSc Physics Honours: Admission Process
The admission process for BSc Hons Physics is much similar to some other BSc courses or bachelor courses. Admission is offered through both merit based as well as entrance based. Students after clearing their 10+2 need to appear in an entrance exam like UPSEE, TS EAMCET, BHU UET, PUCET, etc. and qualify the entrance exam with good marks to get admission to the BSc Physics Honours course. Some colleges admit students on merit basis and students are shortlisted based on the cutoff lists released by the University.
BSc Physics Honours Eligibility
The minimum BSc Physics Honours eligibility criteria that one requires to get admission is mentioned below:
Candidates must have completed their 10+2 with a minimum of 50% marks from a recognized Board.
There will be a relaxation of 5% in the minimum marks for the candidates belonging to the reserved categories.
Students are required to complete their 10+2 in Science stream having Physics, Chemistry and Biology as their major subjects.
Candidates are required to qualify entrance exams conducted at the National or University level for admission to top colleges.
How to Apply For B.Sc Hons in Physics
The steps need to follow to apply for the admission are mentioned below in detail:
After selecting the desired college, students need to check the admission process for the college and check if they meet the eligibility requirements.
Then students should start the registration process by filling up the form available on the website or offline.
Along with registration proceeds, candidates should have submitted the required documents such as marks sheet, DOB certificate etc.
For entrance-based admission, students need to register and appear in the entrance exam and qualify with good scores.
Shortlisted candidates after qualifying entrance tests, students may also be called for personal interviews or take part in the counselling rounds
Selected students for merit based admission need to pay the required fees to finalise their admission.
