Students interested in Science are seldom well informed about research as a career during their XII or after the XII results. Engineering boom in the country, especially in South India has made study in Basic Science a last option. So this article aims to provide students coming out of XII an idea on education and
career in Science.
What after XII?
Hmmm.. The best thing is to go for an
1. Integrated MS:
Integrated MSc is one of the best options to get into education in pure science. Various universities and institutes across India are providing Int. MSc courses with excellent infrastructure and incentives. IISERs at various places in India have been providing best possible science curriculum. Currently, Extended Merit List rank in IIT-JEE is considered to be sufficient for eligibility to apply for IISERs. KVPY fellows from all different streams are also eligible to apply. So if you consider studying Int. MS in IISERs better get equipped to crack IIT-JEE. (EML-10000 would do well for GM candidates). Students will get a reasonable incentive during their course. For more details visit any of the IISERs website...
Well. You can also do
2. Bachelor of Science(BSc) :
All most all universities of India have Bachelor's degree in Science in various branches of Science. Among them JNU, University of Kolkata , University of Mysore , University Of Madras are prominent. Also, now IISc has its own BS Honors course which is the most advisable. Visit IISc website
What after bachelor's degree?
Many of you like me, might have been unaware of IIT-JEE or other exams in your early days and might have been studying BSc in various universities across India. But its never too late. I guess, its the right time for you to buck up and start to make your way through IIT-JAM, JEST or IISc entrance exam.
You can go for Integrated PhD course in JNCASR, IISc, IIT Kanpur or IISER Kolkata through these exams or MSc in various IITs by IIT-JAM. For IISER Kolkata Int. PhD you can directly apply by your Bachelors score with a research proposal.
Its important to note that you shouldn't be wasting time during Bachelor's degree. But can apply to various projects and works suggested in the blog.
What after MSc and Int.PhD, will be updated soon...
