Top Research Institute in India: Physics, Chemistry & Mathematical Science

Tailing knowledge at the pandora of science is an endeavour that requires a holistic approach, drawing upon the interconnectedness of various disciplines. Chemistry, mathematics, and physics, in particular, form an indissoluble triad that underpins our understanding of the natural world.

Chemistry investigates the composition, structure, and qualities of matter, illuminating the coordination between atoms and molecules. Mathematics is formulated by extensive logical reasoning, proofs, and the use of symbols and notation to represent mathematical concepts. Theorems and axioms on the other hand, are used to establish mathematical truths, and these truths can be used to solve problems and make predictions. Physics delves into the fundamental laws governing the universe, from the subatomic realm to the cosmic scale, providing a foundational understanding of energy, matter, space, and time. 

Candidates can go through the list of top research institutes in India for these courses from here:
