Not your average tech degree
Engineering Physics is research-first and physics-heavy. The cohort is tiny (30 students), the curriculum dives deep into quantum and semiconductors, and recruiters are mostly R&D labs and hardware giants. If you want a conventional software dev path, this will be a steeper climb.
The verdict
Good fit
Pick this if you’re genuinely into physics, semiconductors, or research. The IIT tag + small batch + recruiters like ISRO, DRDO, Intel, and Samsung make it powerful for the right person. It’s not the safest bet for generic software roles, but it’s future-proof for deep-tech and R&D.
