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.
Eligibility
- 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.
