I have always been fascinated by Physics But due to the CS hype in India took a miscalculated step to get my bachelor's in CS, After 4 years dedicated to a job in Software Development I want to change my career to physics I always used my weekends to brush up Maths and Physics topics during my job I now wish to pursue my dream of doing Ph.D. in physics from a foreign university ( MIT, ETH Zurich, etc ) meeting new people getting their perspective about a topic from a different angle, research and push the boundaries of science. I am 26 now and planning to get myself into a master's program in physics from India itself from IIT or HCRI (Harish Chandra Research Institute). It will take 2 years to complete my MSc I will be 28 by then. Is it still possible to get my Ph.D. abroad ???

Frankly, I don't know why you would think age 28 would be a problem. Would you please clarify the question?– NobodyCommented Oct 24, 2022 at 6:46

@Nobody Thank you for replying . I meant that will I be accepted to a foreign Phd program after doing a masters in India Starting my masters in theoritical physics next year. The concern is that will my past CS career will hinder my chances to get a elite Phd program ( dreaming about the programs in MIT Columbia Tu Berlin etc ).– RISHI MANDALCommented Oct 24, 2022 at 7:49

Your past choices won't hinder it per se, but you obviously would need to work harder than someone who was on that path from the start. Good luck.– LodinnCommented Oct 24, 2022 at 8:12
