i want to pursue Engg. Physics(EP) at IIT madras(in case anyone didn't knwo IIT's are the premier Technological institutions of India) ...
That's because i am interested in physics but at the sam etime don't want to get too theoritical i.e also want to see it's apllication part at the same i don't want to go into any of the engg because i don't know what i liek electrical/mech or what?
so i want to pursue EP?
i think that wud give me the best chance to enter R&D by various companies...though i am not sure about this...
