B.Sc. (Physical Sciences)

COURSE DESCRIPTION

---

B.Sc. Physical Sciences or Bachelor of Science in Physical Sciences is an undergraduate Physics course. Physical science deals with the branches of natural science and science that study non-living systems, in contrast to the life sciences. The program also involves the study of the key concepts and theories of Chemistry, Physics, Earth Science, Mathematics, Environmental Science, Biology, etc. In other words, B.Sc. (Physical Sciences) degree course deals with the study of energy and matter and guides us to know the universe in terms of mass, weight and other objective procedures.

B.Sc. Physical Sciences Eligibility

• The basic eligibility criterion for pursuing B.Sc. (Physical Sciences) degree is qualifying 10+2 or equivalent examination in Science stream. Some reputed colleges and institutes demand a minimum of 50% marks in 10+2 as qualifying criteria to secure admission in this degree course.
• Some of the very reputed colleges and institutes also conduct entrance examination to get admission to their B.Sc. (Physical Sciences) degree course.
• Selection to the degree course in these colleges is based on marks secured in the final merit i.e. total marks aggregated in the final exams of 10+2 and the entrance exam.

How is B.Sc. Physical Sciences Course Beneficial?

• B.Sc. (Physical Sciences) degree serves as a basis for further higher studies in this field such as M.Sc., Ph.D. and M.Phil. degree in Physical Sciences, Biophysics, Chemical Physics, Radio Physics, Astrophysics, Biotechnology, Chemistry, Bioinformatics, Microbiology, Environmental Science, etc, the successful completion of which makes one eligible for the post of a lecturer in any university/college as well as for an observer or a scientist.
• B.Sc. (Physical Sciences) degree course also makes one eligible for pursuing M.Tech. in various engineering/technology disciplines including aeronautical, chemical, automobile, instrumentation, electronics & communication, or computer science at leading institutions including the IITs, after completing the M.Sc. Physical sciences degrees.
• Besides the above options, there are many different fields for a career in Physical Science such as physics, thermodynamics, electromagnetic, mechanics and kinetics.
