These are the regular and definite opportunities. Other than these many institutes call for candidates with qualification of m.sc physics as when the need arises. Like npcil (nuclear power corporation of India limited) Bhavini ( bharathiya vidut nigam limited), PRL, ONGC etc. Also you can apply for Combined Defence Service Exam (CDSE) for which the notification will come in the month of August and March.
Opportunities abroad.
                Can be divided into English speaking countries (us, up, Australia, New Zeeland, Canada) and non English speaking countries (most of the European countries).
In English speaking countries if you have to do ph.d in good institutes then you should have cleared a language profiency test. Either TOEFL ( test of English as a foreign language) or IELTS (international English language testing system). In addition to this one can also write GRE (graduate record examination) . This can written either for general or in physics. But you can still get an opportunity to do ph.d with out clearing these exams. But one should be careful about the institute and its standard.
Most of the European countries have their own language. Some of the countries where we can do research are Germany, Russia, France, Italy, Spain, Switzerland, Denmark, Austria. There are so many opportunities in these institutes. They can be seen through internet. Some of the websites like www.tiptop.iop.org gives information about the vacancies in various places in the world. Generally these websites will be in their own language. So to know about the details the web page will contain a word 'English' of flag of Brittan. By clicking that you can get the information in English. Even if such options are not there then you can use the website www.google.com/translate to translate that webpage into English.
People those who are planning to do research should obtain passport. Many applicants will require it. Then should be clear whether the institute offering scholarship or not. Even if they offer scholarship we should ask will there be any fees waiver for doing ph.d. We should be also be clear whether the we can enrol for ph.d.
