Physics after Engineering

A list of Physics Internships submitted by our readers. Apart from these, there are many other places you can apply to. This is in no way the complete list of institutes. You can even mail the profs of any institute personally and get an internship, You'll most likely not get paid this way so apply in places close to your home town or where a relative or a friend stays. I've written a complete post about the same here  How to get Internships by Mailing profs?  Albeit you'll not get paid through those your chances of being accepted are higher in these than the official portals. So, do try both ways.    If you know of any internships available for Engineers in Physics do fill in its details here. 

        B efore you start reading I want you to know the fact that the hit rate will be very less for the internships applied through emails, you should be ready to send dozens of emails without getting any reply. There's no upper limit though, you can send 50 or 100 or even above as far your desperation can take you. Even more importantly I want you to know that I myself have not landed one from any well-recognized institutes. I'm writing this just from my experience of applying to a lot of profs for the sole reason that a few people are eager to know about how to get an internship. Having said that, I've written all that I felt will benefit an applicant to the best of my knowledge. Any additions are welcome. Also you can find the list of Internships available through official portal  submitted by our group members. How do I discover the Profs working in my field of Interest? Go through the official websites of all the institutes and find the Mail-Ids of profs wo

    S o  let me share with you my Institute of Mathematical Science, Chennai interview experience. I didn’t have a particularly good interview, so I’m not expecting getting selected in this. There were 3 professors let’s call them A, B and C. Prof A gave me a choice between Electrodynamics and Differential Equations . I chose Electrodynamics. A: Write Maxwell’s Equation. I wrote them on the board. A: now please remove the Maxwell correction term. And tell me if the equations are consistent. Me: I tried to explain to them using the capacitor description that we were taught in Class 11-12. He listened to it and said to me that it is correct but asked me to show it through the four equations. I was struggling, so Prof. C gave me some hint: take divergence on the equations and I did so. After struggling a bit, at last, I arrived to the conclusion that the charge flow is not being conserved, so we need Maxwell’s correction.     Prof A now gives me the E and B

Hello friends. I ’m Sayan , a BTech(EE) final year student from a private college in Kolkata. So this year I appeared for 3 exams :  TIFR-GS ( Not selected)  IIT-JAM (Rank-157) JEST (Rank 58). I started my preparations from 3 rd year, though at that time I wasn’t sure if I would be getting into physics. After my 5 th semester, I decided to appear for Physics PG entrance exams. So here are the resources I used: Mathematical Physics :                    Books:  Kreyszig , Boas . Videos: Gilbert Strang(have watched only a few videos on Linear Algebra and ODE.), one can follow 3B1B to appreciate Linear Algebra. From here basically, they ask about Matrices, ODEs, some integrals, etc. In interviews, they may ask about Bessel, Legendre, Hermite as well. Classical Mechanics :                         I just did the basics mainly from HC Verma . And read the Analytical Mechanics and Central force problem from Marion Thornton . Taylor is another book I lik

TIFR Mumbai Experience                  TIFR Mumbai took the written test on 11th March 2019. Luckily I do have the question paper of this test. You can go through the images below. As with ICTS, we were supposed to attempt any 4 questions.                          I attempted the questions 1,2,3,5 and 6. I attempted an extra question since I was not getting the value of force as given in the 3rd question. I don't know whether they evaluated the last question or not. After lunch, we were taken to various labs on the campus. This was the most beautiful experience in my life. The orientation process completed at around 6 p.m. When I came out of the campus, the list of candidates shortlisted for the interview was attached on the notice board. I was glad to know that my name was on the list. 43 students were shortlisted for the interviews. Next day I arrived at the campus at 8:30 a.m. as informed. We were divided into 7 groups. Students from each group would be inte
