Physics Entrance Exam

Eligibility Of the Bachelor of Science [B.Sc] (Physics)
To seek admission in B.Sc Physics, the student must have cleared 10+2 with science subjects (PCM/PCB).
The percentage in 10+2 required for being eligible for the course may vary from college to college.
How to Get Admission in Bachelor of Science [B.Sc] (Physics)
Most of the colleges in India that offer B.Sc Physics give direct admission on the basis of marks obtained in 10+2, which is determined by the cut-off lists generated by each college. The student can seek admission if his marks match with the cut off announced by a college.
Lateral Entry for B.Sc Physics
Some universities like Annamalai University, give admission to 2nd year for which the candidate must have cleared 1st year with minimum 75% marks from a recognized university.
Distance Mode Admission
NIMS University, IGNOU, School of Open Learning are some institutions that offer distance learning for those who cannot attend full time classes.
Normal eligibility for B.Sc Physics is 10+2 which may vary in some institutes.

Those who opt for the astronomy field, should pass their plus two examination under the science stream, specially in physics and math's. For pursuing a career in theoretical or observational astronomy one may go through the science stream after plus two. Since universities offering undergraduate programme in Astronomy are rarely found, one can join for a major/ honours in Physics with Mathematics as a subsidiary subject. Thereafter, take a master's degree in Physics or Astronomy. After the successful completion of M.Sc, one can do specialization in astronomy leading to Ph. D. which enables one to become an astronomer/ astronaut/ astrophysicist or a scientist/ research officer etc. in the field of space research.
The Physics Aptitude Test (PAT) is a 2-hour subject-specific admissions test for applicants to the University of Oxford for undergraduate degree courses in Engineering, Materials Science and Physics undergraduate degree courses.
The PAT is held pre-interview stage at the beginning of November. Test results are not published automatically, but candidates may request their test score as part of the usual University of Oxford feedback process.
