So it's official, I am attending the National University of Singapore, starting January 2023! Really excited to share more about this in the upcoming days :D
First of all, a huge congrats on getting the admit at NUS! 🎉 I'm a regular viewer of the channel since the last year, and was eagerly waiting for tis announcement video Now, there are some questions from my side: Q1. Colleges you applied and the decisions (may be you could make a decision reactions video!) Q2. Some tips to get research internships in India as well as abroad Q3. Getting a PhD Physics in the US after 3 year BSc from DU, JNU, etc. or doing an MSc before getting into the PhD; some pros and cons of both Q4. A comparison of the stipend, opportunities, scholarship, etc. for a PhD in Physics in India and abroad _Context for 3, there are many universities in the US offering PhD Physics after a 3yr. BSc Physics from India, some people even getting into UCBerkeley; also for the PhD in the US, they have 2 years of coursework before the actual research; which in Indian context can be like 2 yrs of MSc followed by the PhD which is entirely research work; so really wanted to know if there might be some pros and cons between these two as they seem more or less the same on the timeline_
I stumbled upon your channel during your SAT days. My life is very similar to yours. I got into some US unis and failed to get enough money for a scholarship to sustain my bachelor's in physics. I too was unable to get into IISERs or IITs for physics as you mentioned in a previous video. Seeing your progress through life even after that and finally attending NUS for Ph.D. gives me some confidence. I have started my BSc in physics at a not-so-great university now. Although I am happy I get to study what I want, I am at a serious disadvantage against students from IISERS during the internship season. I don't have any questions to ask you. This was more of like a rant/vent whatever you want to call it. Best of luck with your Ph.D. Shubham.
Thank you so much for such a heartfelt and in depth comment, Dani. Really feels nice to have someone who can relate to my journey! Also, thanks for the question, will take it up!
Hey just found your channel Nice work!!!! I had a question Can change my career to physics from cs BTech. I am also thinking of working in the tech field for 2 years more to make some money and pay the loans. Like I would be 29 when starting Ms.c Physics in India Getting to know the field and getting some good research experience, Can I then apply for Ph.D. abroad ( really want to study in Europe or America its a dream), will they even select me because of my age. I would be atleast 35 when completing my Ph.D.
@@ShubhamKejriwal your channel has been really helpful to me....thank you so much for that... Btw am joining iiest shibpur this year to do my btech in mechanical engineering...I was really confused about what to do in college other than attend classes amd give exams....your channel has given a lot of guidance on internships, projects etc... Thank you so much for that as well...
Dada, Can you please give some study tips related to Bsc Physics, like how to complete the syllabus and how to score top marks in Physics..And, secondly, Do you know which university in India provides 2 years Msc in Astrophysics?
I already made a video about how to score well on your tests. You can check it out here: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-3mMGR-bybVs.html
As far as MSc in Astrophysics is concerned, there are some colleges including Andhra University offering MSc Astrophysics in India. But i'd say that today, pursuing an MSc in Physics from an institute that has a strong astrophysics background is a much wiser choice. You can look at, for example, Pune University's masters program. It has strong ties with IUCAA and faculty from IUCAA actually teaches courses at Pune University. You get to choose a large variety of courses from Astrophysics and Cosmology background, while getting a degree in MSc Physics. I'd recommend that much more confidently than doing an MSc astrophysics from a lesser known institute. :)
