BITS, Goa is a much more recognised institution than Nirma University which reflects in its rankings.

BITS is known worldwide these days for its academic culture and its off-the-charts placements. According to some of my friends studying there, M.Sc courses are some of the best courses available in BITS and all its branches.

• M.Sc is excellent at BITS Goa and they offer lots of job and research opportunities.
• With the tag of BITS, it will be very easy for students to pursue their further studies such as Ph.D., Hons. from top universities across the globe.
• The academic knowledge and exposure they would receive from the course in BITS Goa are really valuable.
• BITS Goa has an excellent team of Physics and professionals in their line of the field.
• If topics such as quantum physics, quantum mechanics, waves, and black holes spark your interest then M.Sc. in physics would be a very good option for you.
• BITS is also known for having world-class labs that are equipped with the latest and high-tech tools for the betterment of the students.
• BITS Goa has collaborations and tie-ups with some of the leading institutes of the world and students get a chance in foreign students exchange programs.

M.Sc in physics, chemistry, or Maths won’t certainly give you the placement you wish for but it will still be good. Placements in M.Sc PCMB are great when the student gets CSE as the engineering branch in the next few years. Also, M.Sc in Economics is very good when it comes to placements and does not depend on the branch you will be getting in the 2nd year based on your CGPA.
