(Physics) degree programme with optional courses in several areas such as Materials Science, Condensed Matter Physics, Biophysics, Nuclear Techniques, Accelerator Physics, Laser Physics, Non-linear Phenomena and Physics of Nanostructures etc.

M. Sc. (Physics) programme

Duration – 2 years

The admissions of Indian candidates are through a national level entrance examination.

The advertisement is put up in print media as well as on the webpage around March/April.

The entrance examination is held in June.

The first semester starts around the end of July.

Eligibility-

Bachelor’s Degree in (any discipline) (with Physics and Maths) or equivalent with at least 50% aggregate marks
