The Master of Science (M.Sc.) in Physics is a two-year postgraduate programme designed to provide advanced knowledge of physical sciences through theoretical study, laboratory experimentation, computational methods, and research-oriented learning. The programme develops a deep understanding of the fundamental principles governing matter, energy, and the physical universe while strengthening analytical and problem-solving abilities.
Students explore specialized areas including Mathematical Physics, Classical Mechanics, Quantum Mechanics, Electrodynamics, Statistical Physics, Nuclear Physics, Solid State Physics, Astrophysics, and Communication Systems. The curriculum integrates practical laboratory work and research projects to prepare learners for higher education, scientific research, teaching careers, and opportunities in industry and technology sectors.

* Elective courses are offered subject to departmental availability and university regulations.
The M.Sc. Physics programme is completed over two academic years and is divided into four semesters. Each semester combines theory courses, laboratory work, and research-oriented learning.
Students are expected to maintain regular attendance in lectures, practical sessions, seminars, and departmental activities as prescribed by University regulations.
Continuous evaluation includes attendance, assignments, quizzes, class interaction, seminars, and sessional examinations, contributing to the overall academic performance.
Practical courses form an essential part of the programme. Students are required to maintain laboratory records and actively participate in experimental work.
Students undertake supervised research projects and dissertation work to develop scientific inquiry, analytical thinking, and independent research skills.
Assessment is conducted through semester-end examinations, practical evaluations, internal assessments, and project/dissertation evaluation as per University norms.
Comprehensive academic support and vibrant student engagement opportunities.
