I am a 10+2 student in science stream with Physics, chemistry, and Mathematics. I want to make a career in Photonics but am not sure about the career path that would take me there. Please guide me with course details and the institutes in India where I can pursue this course.

Photonics is the field of science and engineering about the physical facts and technologies associate with the production, transmission, manoeuvring, recognition and deployment of light. You need to complete 10+2 in the science stream with Physics, Chemistry and Maths with a minimum mark of 50% to be eligible for graduation courses in Photonics and Optoelectronics.
Alternatively, you can pursue a Bachelors degree in Physics and Mathematics, Applied Physics or Electronics and then opt for M.Sc in Photonics or Optoelectronics. You can opt for M.Tech, MPhil, and PhD in the field of Photonics and the eligibility is a Masters degree in Physics or Photonics. There are some Diploma courses offered by various institutes that would help one to become a Photonics technician. Two-year technician program is the requirement to become a photonics technician. Along with educational qualification, you will need to possess some skills that would help you attain expertise in this field.
