M.Sc. Physics
In the M.Sc programme the focus is on gaining the advanced knowledge in the field
of Physics. The course curriculum is designed to introduce the students to more
complex concepts related to proton, photon and protein structure based mechanisms
discection to address burning issues with human health. Students are trained for a
career in advanced research in Physical, Chemical and Health sciences. The choice
based curriculum system (CBCS), provides an opportunity for the students to choose
from the prescribed courses comprising hard core, soft core, skill based and open
electives according to studetns learning interests to align with their targeted career
path.
Physics is an interdisciplinary course and understanding Physics is vital if one wants
to comprehend our contemporary technological society and the other Natural
Sciences. At its core, Physics is a combination of experimentation, observation,
mathematical and computational study of the phenomena.
In the First three semester, students will study mandatory hard core subjects which
includes Mathematical Physics, Electrodynamcis, Classical Mechanics, Quantum
Mechanics, Condesed Matter Physics, Optics, Spectroscopy, Biophysics, Nuclear
Physics and Solid State Physics,. The more specilized soft core subjects Accelerator
Physics, Protein Crystallography, Optoelectronics, X-ray Crystallography and
Computational Physics. In the fourth semester students will be envisaged highly
specialized courses research methodology, Biostatistics, Bioinformatics, Genetic
Engineering, Nanotechnology, etc., as part of the discipline specific open electives.
The most unique feature of M.Sc., Physics is the provision to perform full-time
research project in the fourth semester both at the in-house research centers or at
other reputed research centers outside.
- Candidates must have secured 45% (40% of SC/ST) in aggregate B.Sc., degree with PHYSICS as one of the optional subjects. Bachelor of Engineering and Technology (B.E. and B.Tech., graduates of ELECTRICAL AND ELECTRONICS discipline with 45% (40% for SC/ST) or CGPA equvivalent aggregate and minimum 45% or equivalent CGPA in cognate subject from a recognized University.
