So we saw the huge syllabus of physics. And a no. of beautiful questions can be formed in each topic. We have been focussing on the pattern of the exam
and the weak areas of individual student. Each and every students are given proper focus. And we work to overcome the difficulties of students in
different parts of the syllabus.

Study material and class lecturs. Career opportunities in Physics after cracking
competitive exams like CSm-UGC and GATE: Experts believe that it is hardly an exaggeration if one says that Physics is the mother of all sciences and technologies. It is proved by anything you observe in today's modem world, starting from
nanotechnology, bio-physics, string theory to quantum computation and many more -you just name it and a physics expert will be present!

There are excellent career avenues once you clear exams like GATE or CSIR-UGC-JRFINET. Let us be specific:

A. After cracking the GATE exam. You have the following options:
(I) Do M.Tech. from anyone of the IITs in anyone
of the fields
(a) Microelectronics (b) Applied Optics (c) Optoelectronics & Optical Communication (d) Solid state materials (e) VLSI Design Tools and Technology (f)
Instrument Technology (g) Nuclear Engineering and Technology (h) Laser
Technology (i) Atmospheric science & Technology G) Solid state Technology
(k) Solid state electronics materials (I) Computer Applications (m) Computational Seismology
(2) Do Ph.D. in anyone of the IITs or IISc Bangalore
B.If you can clear CSIR-UGC-JRFINET exam.

You may have the following options:
(1) Do Ph.D. from anyone of the IITs, IISc Bangalore, IISER or any Indian University
(2) Join as a lecturer in any of the UGC recognized institutes if positions available.
(3) Join any CSIR or DST funded project.
C.You can get direct appointment in organizations like BARC, DRDO, ISRO, ONGC etc. if you can crack the relevant examinations.
D. You can appear in JEST exam. to do quality r e s e a r ch in the fol lowing r eput ed organizations: (a) IUCAA (Inter University Centre for Astronomy
and Astrophysics, Pune) (b) IIA (Indian Institute of Astrophysics, Bangalore)

Career opportunities in Chemistry after cracking competitive exams like CSIR-UGC-JRFINET and GATE. Like all sciences, chemistry has a unique place in our pattern of understanding of the Universe. It is the science of molecule and you are always enveloped of it. As you read these word, your eyes are using an organic compound (Retinal) to convert visible light into nerve impulses. When you picked up this booklet your muscles were doing chemical reactions on sugars to give you the energy you needed.
