There are two scenarios under which this can be discussed. 

  1. You are looking for good placements, under this scenario, seeking to become a Psychist is almost impossible since you will have to aim for higher studies first.
  2. You want to become a psychist irrespective of the job you get: This is for those who are passionate about becoming a Psychic and are ready to forgo high packages to pursue their interests.

IIT KGP: As far as the IIT Kharagpur Integrated MSc is concerned, I will be brutally honest in letting you know that IIT KGP is not the right place to pursue Physics. This is just not my opinion but the opinion of many alumni and professors of the Institute itself. The academic environment and exposure are not good for learning physics.

IIT Kanpur: While some may say that there is a certain bias between core Engineering students and physics students, IIT Kanpur still is the best when it comes to imparting Physics education. It offers the right opportunities and exposure required for this program.

IISER: These are usually research-oriented and the education imparted here lays great emphasis on basic sciences. Great exposure in the form of research work is offered to make the program a high-quality one. The students attend seminars and talks to discuss the ongoing research in various fields giving a practical approach to the entire curriculum. The research work is more extensive than that of other institutes.

Your top two choices should be IIT Kanpur and IISER. If you are going for the latter, make sure you look into the research work done by the professors there. But if you are after placements, go for IITs.

It's always a good idea to research and speak with current students or alumni to get a better sense of what a program is like. Additionally, it is important to consider whether the program aligns with your career goals and interests.
