Hi Sunita,


Very happy to know that you like Physics as a subject, which means that you are the logical head or the analytical one.
This means that any field can be opted by you, as reasoning is the only requirement to survive in the industry.

Coming back to your question.
Some of the careers with Physics you can opt for includes:
  • Pharmacy: Manufacturing medicines involves a combination of Physics and biology. When a medicine is introduced, one needs to study its physiological effect, which requires the help of physics. So you can opt for a B.Pharm, a 4 years study, post 12th, after clearing the entrance exams. Follow it up with M. Pharm and then a P.Hd, which puts you in the research field.
  • Astronomy: Studying space and satellites, climatic changes, predicting astronomical changes and so on. You can either pursue a B.Sc or a B.E in Astronomy.
  • Gaming: You can pursue this field at the graduate level as a B.Sc degree in sync with Animations or as Designing
  • B.Sc IT: A 3 years undergraduate course into computers, whereby you would be exposed to hardware and programming.


  • Architecture: A 4 years Graduate course post 12th. Here you would have to clear the entrance exam. Mainly into constructing or making models of buildings and highways which are then build by engineers
  • Designing: A 4 years undergraduate course, post 12th after clearing the entrance exam. One needs to be high on creativity and their visualization skills.
  • Engineering: The one that you have already mentioned. Only I do not get the link between a girl and engineering. As a mechanical engineer, you would be into troubleshooting with machines, though groundwork needs to be done sometimes but mostly you would be into maintenance and instructing your workers.

Hope this answers your query.

Wish you good luck................
