PROGRAMME
(Courses effective from Academic Year 2020-21)
 Programme Objectives (POs)
The objectives of the M.Sc. Physics programme are manifold and start with imparting students with
an in-depth knowledge and understanding through the core courses which form the basis of Physics
namely, Classical Mechanics, Quantum Mechanics, Mathematical Physics, Statistical Physics,
Electromagnetic Theory, Solid State Physics, Electronics, Nuclear and Particle Physics along with
Atomic and Molecular Physics. Creative thinking and problem-solving capabilities are also aimed
to be encouraged through tutorials. The elective and open elective courses are designed for more
specialized and/or interdisciplinary content to equip students with a broader knowledge base. The
core and elective labs are designed to develop an appreciation for the fundamental concepts and
working of devices used in everyday life employing scientific methods/tools of physics.
Computational physics course is aimed to equip the students to use computers as a tool for scientific
investigations/understanding. The dissertation(s) in both theory and experimental stream are
expected to give a flavor of how research leads to new findings. In addition, the M.Sc. Course is to
lay a solid foundation for a doctorate in Physics/allied subjects later.

Programme Specific Outcomes (PSOs)

• Understanding the basic concepts of physics particularly concepts in classical mechanics,
quantum mechanics, statistical mechanics and electricity and magnetism to appreciate how
diverse phenomena observed in nature follow from a small set of fundamental laws through
logical and mathematical reasoning.
• Learn to carry out experiments in basic as well as certain advanced areas of physics such as
nuclear physics, condensed matter physics, nanoscience, lasers and electronics.
• Understand the basic concepts of certain sub fields such as nuclear and high energy physics,
atomic and molecular physics, solid state physics, and plasma physics, and astrophysics,
general theory of relativity, nonlinear dynamics and complex system.
• Gain hands on experience to work in applied fields.
• Gain a through grounding in the subject to be able to teach it at college as well as school
level.
• Viewing physics as a training ground for the mind developing a critical attitude and the
faculty of logical reasoning that can be applied to diverse fields.

Programme Structure
The M. Sc. programme is a two-year course divided into four-semesters. The M.Sc. Physics
Programme would make the students competent in a natural science, viz., Physics, and help them
understand its role in modern day technology. Overall, the course would enable the students to
understand the fundamental concepts and experimental methods of physics which would help them
to innovate/apply/generate new devices/applications/insights/knowledge. Knowledge gained
through the open electives would be an asset in branching out in fields other than physics.
