Science

India is at the second position among countries with the highest increase in their contribution to high-quality scientific research, according to the Nature Index 2016 Rising Stars report, which shows that the growth of research in the country is behind China.
The institutions from India among the top 100 highest performers across the globe include:
1. Council for Scientific and Industrial Research (CSIR).
2. Indian Institute of Science Education and Research (IISER).
3. Tata Institute of Fundamental Research (TIFR).
4. Indian Institute of Science (IISc).
5. Indian Institutes of Technology (IITs).
Indian Institutes do not provide the right academic ambience for research pursuits, but they are developing and hope to be better. You can look at options to work in international organizations.
In Indian, there's a vast scope for environmental science graduates. I have listed some of them:
1. Preference is given to environmental science postgraduates in Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB)/ State PCBs for the post of assistant environmental officers.
2. As environmental officer in industries (Effluent Treatment Plants ETP). With a good salary after some experience.
3. Jobs in Sewage Treatment Plants (STP) in municipalities.
4. You can start your own environmental consultancy services with relevant advisors.
5. As with any science stream, you can go for further research. Institutes like IISc, ATREE – Bangalore and NEERI - Nagpur offer research opportunities. Clearing UGC NET makes you eligible for JRF (Junior Research Fellowship).
6. Clearing UGC NET after PG makes you eligible for lectureship in universities, affiliated colleges.

A strain gauge is a register used to measure strain on an object. When an external force is applied on an object, due to which there is a deformation occur in the shape of the object. This deformation in the shape either compressive or tensile is called strain and it is measured by the strain gauge.
When an object deforms within the limit of elasticity, either it becomes narrower and longer or it become shorter and broadens. As a result of it, there is a change in resistance end-to-end. The strain gauge is sensitive to that small changes occur in the geometry of an object. By measuring the change in resistance of an object, the amount of induced stress can be calculated.
The change in resistance normally has very small value and to sense that small change, strain gauge has a long thin metallic strip arrange in a zig-zag pattern on a non-conducting material called the career, so it can enlarge the small amount of stress in the group of parallel lines and could be measured with high accuracy. The gauge is literally glued onto the device by an adhesive.

The Civil Services Examination is a nationwide competitive examination in India conducted by the Union Public Service Commission (UPSC) for recruitment to various Civil Services of the Government of India, including the Indian Administrative Service (IAS), Indian Foreign Service (IFS), Indian Police Service (IPS) and others services.
Public Service Commissions are the state agency authorised to conduct the Civil Services Examination for entry-level appointments to the various Civil Services of various states. As per Indian Constitution, there is provision of provide for a Public Service Commission for each state. Provincial Civil Services, abbreviated as PCS, are actually the civil based administrative services of the state government. These officers relate to the policy making of the state to which they belong.
You are eligible to appear for both Civil Services examination and PCS exam conducted by MPSC. Civil Services like IAS is Class I services and higher in status in comparison PCS service by MPSC. As PCS officer you will take 10 to 20 years based on your performance and vacancies to move into IAS cadre. If you are excellent in academics, you must try for Civil Services Examination. Preparation for Civil Services Examination will also help you to appear and crack MPSC. Vice Versa may not be true.
