About us

By
The purpose of the blog is to help all the Physics loving engineers out there in entering Physics stream after Engineering in India. We share with you, all the ways we know for an Engineer to become a Physicist in India. As a part of this, we bring to you the personal experiences of a few engineers who have successfully entered physics stream to Inspire, assure and disillusion you about career transition.  You'll also find articles about how to prepare for entrance exams like JAM, Physics GRE and NET etc for engineers.


One great thing we achieved through the blog is that we've successfully built a community of engineers who are looking to study Physics after Engineering.
Right now we are a community of 500+ engineers aspiring to become physicists and some of them have successfully made it into Physics after Engineering.

Also, do visit all other useful content of our blog Physics after Engineering.
Below is the invite link for our Whats App group with 500+ members all of whom are engineers who actively discuss and help each other out in entering physics stream after engineering.

My Journey into Physics After Engineering - Vaibhav Sharma | PAE blog

By
Can I switch from Engineering to Physics? Is it possible to do a PhD in physics after B. Tech in engineering? Can I pursue physics after *put any branch* engineering? These are some of the questions I used to ask 3 years ago. Back then, I couldn’t find a clear answer. But if you are asking a similar question today, I have found an answer and it is a resounding YES!!! Yes, you can do physics after engineering,  in fact, you can do a Ph.D. in physics after any branch of engineering. There, I said it, and for some of you, this assurance is probably enough to begin the pursuit. But there is another set of people. These are the ones like me who were from an unsupportive engineering college, a college with an age-old rigid academic system which gives you no freedom of taking courses beyond your engineering branch, no real electives, a physics department that is pretty much dormant, and no real reputation for research anywhere. And it is precisely for these students that I want

Disclaimer: The initial post titles set by authors are later modified by the editor to be catchy and SEO friendly, the authors bear no responsibility in this regard.         M any people have asked me for preparation tips and strategies for JEST and JAM. I will be telling you about my preparation for these exams in the post. But before that, I would like to add a disclaimer that there is no universal exam cracking strategy and exam preparations vary highly from person to person. A particular technique or resource(lectures and books) may be helpful for some while it may not be helpful for others. That said, I'll be sharing some strategies I employed. Book Suggestions              Being an engineer, I had an advantage of JEE preparation i.e. I was good with JEE level concepts. So, if one feels that he/she is not comfortable with JEE level stuff. I will strongly suggest to brush up those things first. Sources are the obvious ones, 1) Concepts of Physics by HC Verma 2) Fundam

Here is a post on Books, lectures, and notes recommendations for JEST physics. [We recommend you also go through this excellent   post by Deepamla(AIR 3) on How she cracked JEST ] Electromagnetism : Griffiths Electrodynamics(excellent for problem solving). The book is more than enough for any physics entrance exam. Quantum mechanics : Again, Griffiths QM is a self-contained book. Book by Prof. Ajoy Ghatak is also nice Lectures : MIT OCW lectures by Prof. Allan Adams(highly recommend) and Prof. Barton Zweibach. Statistical physics : Lecture notes by Prof. David Tong. Reif statistical physics is a standard. book Lectures  by Prof. John Preskill are highly recommended. Classical mechanics:  Taylor's  CM is an excellent book for problem-solving. Landau Lifshitz mechanics is also recommended. Special Theory of Relativity : I found Rindler’s book on relativity very helpful. I highly recommend solving problems from this site: sites.google.com/site/likharevegp/part-em

This a post for those in 12th, and are looking to become Physicists. Unlike the manipulated and paid lists you find in popular websites, this is a list of best places to do a bachelor's degree in physics in India as opined by students who actually lived and studied in those regions. Based on the information I've gathered from my friends, and our PAE (Physics After Engineering) community members and the internet, I have put up the names of some of the good institutes that we felt are actually worth  spending a few years in to study Physics. It'll answer questions like How to become a Physicist in India? How to become a Physicist after 12th?  What are the best colleges for BSc Physics in India ? [After you read the article I'd recommend reading this post about how to excel during your Bachelors's. It's basically all the things I regret not knowing or not doing in my bachelor degree days  How to make the most out of your undergraduate days? ] Types of

JAM, JEST or TIFR, Which exam to prepare for? | PAE blog

By
       I'd like to start off by classifying exams into groups rather than viewing them individually, I'd strongly recommend readers to do the same, otherwise might lead to confusion-given the huge number of exams one can give. The point of separating by exam syllabus is that you can prepare yourself for all the exams under a group that has the same syllabus.    The Physics entrance exams can be divided into two categories broadly based on the education level of the students they're designed for, BSc level and MSc level. Do read the blog post [ How to do MSc Physics after B.Tech/B.E? ]  below to find out all the exams we can give. Here I'll be classifying and analyse them to see which of them suits whom. BSc Level Exams These exams are Screening tests for BSc grads to enter MSc or Integrated Ph.D. (MSc+PhD). All these exams have more or less the same syllabus, so preparing for one of them would mean you're mostly prepared for the other ones too. Of course,

A complete JAM & JEST prep. guide | AIR 22 JAM & 54 JEST | Harshul Gupta

Two roads diverged in a yellow wood, And sorry I could not travel both And be one traveler, long I stood And looked down one as far as I could To where it bent in the undergrowth; . . . I shall be telling this with a sigh " delight " Somewhere ages and ages hence: Two roads diverged in a wood, and I— I took the one less traveled by, And that has made all the difference. Starting with the lines of my favourite poet— Robert Frost, with " slight " modifications. I had a tough choice to choose between GATE-Electronics and JAM-Physics, I chose the one "less traveled by" and that has made "all the difference". NOTE : Those who don't want to read how I ended up in love with Physics but are here take notes regarding my preparation can head-up straight to the heading : " The Journey to AIR-22 (IIT-JAM) & AIR-54 (JEST) " My Eternal Love for Physics It predates back to the summer-vacat
