So we saw the huge syllabus of physics. And a no. of beautiful questions can be
formed in each topic. We have been focussing on the pattern of the exam
and the weak areas of individual student. Each and every students are given
proper focus. And we work to overcome the difficulties of students in
different parts of the syllabus.

Study material and class lecturs. Career opportunities in Physics after cracking
competitive exams like CSm-UGC and GATE: Experts believe that it is hardly
an exaggeration if one says that Physics is the mother of all sciences and
technologies. It is proved by anything you observe in today's modem world,
starting from
nanotechnology, bio-physics, string theory to quantum computation and many
more -you just name it and a physics expert will be present!
There are excellent career avenues once you clear exams like GATE or CSIRUGC-JRFINET. Let us be specific:
