Niche Program Alert
Engineering Physics is a highly specialized, research-intensive degree. It's a strong fit if you're obsessed with quantum tech, photonics, and semiconductor physics — but not if you're looking for a conventional software engineering pipeline.
The verdict
Good fit
IIT Roorkee offers top-tier infrastructure and a unique physics-engineering blend with access to premier R&D recruiters like ISRO and DRDO. However, the 50-student intake and highly theoretical curriculum demand genuine passion for physics. Don't choose it as a 'backup IIT branch'.
