OVERVIEW
A Master of Science (MSc) in Physics is a graduate-level program that delves into advanced concepts and research in the field of physics. Typically spanning two years, the program covers a broad spectrum of topics, including classical mechanics, quantum mechanics, electromagnetism, statistical mechanics, and thermodynamics. Students engage in theoretical studies, laboratory work, and often pursue a research project or thesis. The goal is to deepen understanding and skills in both fundamental and specialized areas of physics, preparing graduates for careers in academia, research institutions, or various industries where a strong foundation in physics is valued. Advanced mathematical techniques and computational methods are often integral components of the curriculum, providing students with the tools necessary to analyze and solve complex problems in physics.ELIGIBILITY
B.Sc. Degree in Physics/Applied Physics (Core/Main), of this University or an equivalent degree, with Mathematics as compulsory complementary, having at least 50% mark or equivalent CGPA in Part III (Core and Complementary put together) or an equivalent B.Sc Physics Honours degree, with at least 50% marks or equivalent CGPA in Physics core and electives (Mathematics compulsory) put together. In the case of applicants having an equivalent degree with triple main/three majors, they should have Physics and Mathematics as two mains/majors and should have minimum 50% marks or equivalent CGPA, while putting the three mains/majors together. OBC/OEC candidates are eligible for relaxation up to 5%. SC/ST candidates need only to get a pass.

Programme objective
Physics is ultimately mechanics and it furnishes the official framework. It encompasses classical mechanics,Quantum mechanics, electrodynamics and statistical mechanics. These are the four pillars upon which the Structure of physics is built. In spite of having large number of branches and specializations in physics, the Driving source that keeps them united under a common umbrella is mechanics. Any branch of physics which has Its roots in the soil of mechanics grows as physics, otherwise it becomes nonphysics. The above mentioned four Branches are the foundation subjects in physics. Frontier subjects are those in which current research is going on,Such as atomic physics, molecular physics, nuclear physics, plasma physics, solid state physics, materials Science, astrophysics etc. Frontier subjects are always rooted in the foundation subjects. Mathematical physics is The theoretical tool and electronics is the experimental tool for exploring physics. In this Programme, all the Foundation subjects and few frontier subjects are offered as core courses. Because of the time constraint, few Other frontier subjects are offered as elective courses. Practicals include general physics, electronics, modern Physics and computational physics. A project work also has to be carried out as part of the masters programme.The programme objective is to provide quality education with a firm foundation in physics.
