If you want to learn more about the world of physics, improve your skills and find internships & fellowships, then you will find these blogs very useful. How to become a GOOD Theoretical Physicist- A blog by Gerard 't Hooft (ext. link) This blog explains how you can become a Nobel Prize-winning scientist. Also, the books you should read for that. CafePhysics by Prof. Ananda Das Gupta The blog was written by one of my Professor whom not only I but the whole IISER Kolkata respects a lot for his best teaching. He has explained some of the difficult concepts of physics like tensor very well. Tips for scientific soft skills Here you can find helpful tips to improve scientific soft skills and it also provides tips for your journey before Ph.D., during Ph.D., and after Ph.D. Go for science This website you will find useful for summer internships, institutes, and fellowships. So You Want To Become a Physicist? This link has a list of so many resources ava...

This post is for those passionate about research in Astronomy & Astrophysics. I will try to answer the following questions that usually arise in such an undergraduate student's mind: What type of work is done in  Space Science ? What background is required for research in  this field ? How do I get into this field? Do I really want to do research in Astrophysics/Astronomy or I should do something else? Which books should I read as a beginner in this field?         F irst of all, let's talk about what is Astrophysics & Astronomy and what do we really do in this field? In Astrophysics & Astronomy (let me call it Astro) we study the universe outside our earth. To do that we make use of information that reaches us from outer space. This information comes in the form of light (when I say light it means all electromagnetic waves) mostly and some other forms like gravitational waves, neutrinos etc. So light is an electromagnetic wa...

HUGE update ppl!!!! IITs have exempted all engineers from the requirement of 2 years/4 semesters of Physics in UG for admission in MSc Physics. This is only for MSc Physics, For MSc Maths, only IIT Roorkee, Gandhinagar & Hyderabad have given exemption to engineers, rest all require 2years/4 sems of mathematics. Do go through  this post  If you wish to know about how the change was brought about (we believe our mails have a lot to do with it) in the eligibility criteria. If you're looking for MSc Math admission, you can proceed reading the article but if you are an MSc Physics aspirant you may just stop here, the rest of this post is irrelevant to you.  Firstly I'd like to state with full clarity that there is no clarity about this Eligibility criteria, and even after reading this entire post, you'll probably be left with no definite answer but hopefully a little less confused. It is Because of this uncertainty I suppose, almost every new member in our WhatsApp gr...
