Course Description:
Realizing the necessity of research-based program in physics, the school has prepared a modified M. Phil. Course. The highlights of the course are: academic experts of allied fields are involved in teaching theory and laboratory practice; research thrust is given so that after undergoing the course the incumbents could pursue to higher education and Ph. D. degree; the course contents are updated and made thoroughly applied in nature to keep abreast with current developments in research and development in applied physics.
Objective
The objective of the program is to create scholars with strong teaching and research background. The specific objective is to initiate advanced research in applied physics - particularly in promising the field of energy, environment, biophysics and material science and to develop expertise in these fields. The course has been formulated to meet the following objectives:
- to shift the focus from theoretical to applied physics
- to optimize the resources available in the department
- to make the program compatible with current research in applied physics
Admission info
The minimum requirement for admission to M. Phil. is at least second division with 50% or a CGPA of 2.5 standing out of 4 or an equivalent grade in Master's level in Physics. The university deserves the right to accept or deny admission on the basis of overall academic and other records and to limit enrollment by selecting from among qualified candidates.
