M.Sc. in Physics 

at Lyallpur Khalsa College, Jalandhar

Humanities as a stream provides a wide range of courses that can be studied after completing their 12th grade. Pursuing any of these degrees prepares you to understand the various levels of humanities and, as a result, carve out an appropriate job path. Candidates in the humanities can apply for positions in the government sector, such as banking firms, government ministries, legal firms, and political analysts.

Content Writer, Civil Services, Human Resource Manager, Defense Services, Lawyer, Journalist, Counsellor, and Therapist positions are available. As freshers, humanities graduates can expect to earn between INR 2-6 LPA.

Career paths in the IT industry can be broadly classified into the two main fields of hardware and software.

Under hardware, you have manufacturing, maintenance, research and development, and management.

Under software, you have manufacturing, development, programming, software testing, and maintenance and support. Among related areas are computer operations, database administration, sales/marketing, and data-centre management.

 Jobs directly related to your degree include:

Actuarial analyst, Application analyst, Business analyst, Data analyst, Database administrator, Information systems manager, IT consultant, IT technical support officer, Multimedia programmer, Network engineer, Systems analyst, Systems developer, UX analyst.

Also, many IT professionals working in Indian companies get a chance to work at customers work sites abroad, and this gives them exposure to international working conditions and work culture.

Both are popular job roles, as per the World Economic Forum report. The key differences between the two are as follows:

• The Data Analyst collects relevant data from various sources to filter and analyze it. The data scientist gathers sizable amounts of structured and unstructured data while performing data mining.
• Education: To become a data analyst, you can apply with a Bachelor's degree in math, Statistics or a related field. Data scientists typically pursue a master's Diploma or degree in data Science.
• Salary: The salary of a data scientist is usually higher than that of a data analyst. According to global estimates, a data scientist can earn around $100,000 per year, whereas a data analyst can earn around $70,000.

Based on your skills and relevant experience in the industry, as an MSc IT postgraduate, you can become a Machine Learning Architect, IoT Solutions Architect, Cloud Engineer, Data Scientist, or Big Data Engineer. These are some of the top-paying job profiles nowadays in the IT sector, offering an average salary package of INR 15 LPA in India.

Here are some of the top governmental organizations that hire MSc Physics postgraduates for a variety of job roles related to research, education, experiments, and inventions.

• Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) 
• Bhabha Atomic Research Centre (BARC) 
• Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO)
• Indian Institute of Science (IISc) 
• Indian Institutes of Technology (IITs) 
• Tata Institute of Fundamental Research (TIFR) 
• Indian Institutes of Information Technology (IIITs)

Physics is a promising and rewarding field to work in India. And the reasons are:

• Institutes of Eminence: India is home to several esteemed institutions that are well-known for their physics research, including the Tata Institute of Fundamental Research (TIFR), Indian Institutes of Technology (IITs), and Indian Institutes of Science Education and Research (IISERs).
• Multidisciplinary Opportunities: Studying physics can lead to opportunities in a variety of interdisciplinary fields, including material science, biophysics, nanotechnology, and more.
• Industry Relevance: Graduates in physics are in high demand in fields like technology, data analysis, finance, and engineering that call for analytical and problem-solving abilities.
• Competition: Academic and research fields can be very competitive, requiring commitment and lifelong learning.
• Funding: It can occasionally be difficult to obtain funding for research projects.
  Hope this helps!
