Today's post is about the Fields Medal in Mathematics. You must be wondering why we need to discuss this, especially when we have our own Nobel prize. Well, the connection is more subtle than you think. The Fields medal (which is the equivalent to Nobel prize in Mathematics) has been awarded to Prof. Hugo Duminil-Copin of Institut des Hautes Etudes Scientifiques (IHES). His research is focused on application of Probability theory to solve problems of Statistical Physics. The institute where he works have had 12 Professors till date, and 7 of them have bagged the medal. Find out what makes the institute unique in the following article. See how Physicists and Mathematicians work together to create a family atmosphere, leading to many joint articles. The article is really impressive, and I realized what was missing in our Institutes back home. Research and success is no doubt a matter of state-of-the-art facilities. However, factors like conducive environments, intellectually stimulating and homely atmosphere, indeed are very important. I request the students to widen their horizons of imagination and try exploring these opportunities in these world class institutes for their career.

How one institution keeps claiming math’s highest award One institute has had 12 math faculty, and eight of them have won the Fields Medal.

Things to note before making a career choice:

(1) Graduation is an important part of everyone's life. It sets the stage for your future. Therefore, a lot depends on the choice of subject. Make sure to select the subject best suited for you.

(2) In choosing the subject, make sure to analyze the job market. What opportunities the subject will offer you once you graduate? Is the course structure of the subject adept in making you skillful enough? In Physics, for instance, we teach programming, Excel, Latex and Origin, which are considered very important skills for preparing you to the job and research market. Do find out if your subject offers these courses too.

(3) After 12th, graduation is altogether a different ball game. Many of us blankly ignored class 11 and 12 lectures because we had home tutors to make up for the loss. This concept will not hold true in graduation. No tuition are available for graduation. You have to rely largely on the College lectures and self-study to educate your self and making yourself competent. This is what brings us to the next point.

(4) Chose your department wisely. Check faculty strength, faculty profiles, faculty experience, departmental facilities and student achievements before blindly committing to any subject. Chapters will become subjects in graduation course. Therefore, a single teacher cannot cover up all the course structure. Thus, there are different teachers teaching you different courses. Since you have to heavily rely on these teachers, make sure they are the best ones for you.

(5) Check the faculty profile wisely. If the teachers are competent enough, they will try to make you the same. Make sure to check the alumni achievements of the department. if there are formidable number of alumni doing great in their career, it automatically implies that they have been taught well. Always remember "If you learn from the best, you will be the best."

We present to you some of the departmental insights and student achievements, which have always made us proud. Do visit us if you need help in making your career choices. We shall be happy to assist you.

We welcome you to an exciting world of Physics. Join us for a degree and give your dreams wings to fly. To quote Dr. APJ Abdul Kalam, "All birds find shelter during a rain. But an Eagle avoids rain by flying above the clouds."
Be an Eagle.......
If you dare to dream, we dare you to dream Physics.

A glimpse of NGPE examinations held today in the Department of Physics, D K College, Mirza. We are expecting that in the next year more students would come forward to appear in the exam and bring laurels to the department.🎯
