Andhra University Visakhapatnam Answered Questions

Being in a point where I need to choose a domain to follow for my graduate studies and after having worked in lengthy internships in both analytical and organic chemistry, I find myself puzzled as I don't know what to follow. On one hand, organic chemistry laboratory routine appears to me much more fascinating and active as well as much more powerful with respect to the amount of things one can create with his skills. On the other hand though, from what I can see from friends doing their Ph.D in the said domain, each and every one of them end up adopting a slave like lifestyle while working on a project without having much of an initiative on the said project and the rest of their careers continues to exist under a very competitive and ultra-hard working daily life. Analytical chemistry, although appearing to my personal taste very mundane when it comes to the further development of known techniques like HPLC, it is a very exciting domain when it comes to the creation of new sensors, biosensors and filters (although for this last one I still haven't found a good group working on these things). Lifestyle while doing a PhD appears to be regulated by the student itself and not so much imposed. Plus, I don't know if this is urban myth but companies appear to be very much in need of analytical chemists.
All in all, I am lost. I would like to make a choice that in my career regardless of how competitive and how hard working is my lifestyle, will give me the excitement of discovery as well as excitement of creation. I don't know, if all these things are doable or even existing all together in the way the field of research in chemistry is evolving.

It depends on the branch you want to join. For branches like CSE, mechanical, ECE, and civil, you need to get at least 1000 to 1500 rank if you are from the open category. There are other small branches like metallurgy, marine, civil and environmental. To get a seat in these small branches, you need not have a good rank like 1000 to 1500. Ranks from 4000 to 5000 (open category) are enough. I am also studying in AU first year, my rank was 5461 (open category) and I got the civil environmental branch in my 2nd round counselling. Civil and civil environmental don't have much difference. The difference is in 4th year, your subjects will differ from civil subjects.
