This is a personal decision. One thing you should keep in mind is the fact you need the equivalent of a US bachelor's degree to do a master's program in the US. You may be eligible to apply for graduate studies after completing one or two years of a master's degree in India, if your undergraduate degree was of three years' duration. There are a number of great universities involved in research in high end physics. As you begin to explore and choose your specialisation, you will find the best fit for your interests.

Renukaji, how do you compare the educational opportunities available in our country with that in US after 12th Board exams? Don't you think in the last decade or so there is a lot of improvement in this area? Asked by: Shyam Vadalker
There is a mismatch between higher education opportunities and the demand for the same in our country, leading to extreme competition. The US application system is also more student friendly as it adopts a holistic perspective on student capabilities. One of the greatest strengths of the undergraduate system is its flexibility, where students are free to declare their major only in the second year of study, and study subjects outside their declared major.
