Physics is a fundamental science and chemists, engineers, biologists as well as doctors need a basic understanding of the subject. Work for a physicist is basically research based and is generally performed by a group of scientists working together or in tandem. They often work in related areas of astrophysics, astronomy, geophysics, nuclear physics, meteorology and so on.

Educational Qualification:
Simple graduates in physics are under-qualified for research and industry jobs. Postgraduates with a background in particular specialization are required by the industry. Postgraduates in physics or related disciplines can also enroll themselves in PhD programs in physics, astronomy, astrophysics, plasma physics & technology etc in selected institutes through Joint Entrance Screening Test (JEST).
