The Board of Studies Meeting of the Department of Physics was held on
19.08.2019 at 10.00 a.m. with Dr. A. V. Jhone Verjhula in the chair.
The members of the Board suggested the following ratifications:
1. Whilst a slight variation in the CA pattern conforming with the Outcome
Based Education Template (OBE) was observed, the Department of
Physics would retain the old template with Section A having 7 questions
of 2 marks each, Section B having 2 questions of 8 marks each and
Section C having 1 question of 20 marks each, in consultation with the
members of the Board.
2. To mention explicitly whether the Journals specified at the end of each
paper are National or International as required by the Outcome Based
Education Template (OBE).
3. To boost up the Industrial tie up to enhance the provision of more
internship opportunities for the students, to cater them to pursue higher
studies and JRF Programmes in the respective Industrial Institutes.
4. To include “Introduction to Ceramics” by P. W. Kingery as one of the
recommended textbooks in the elective subject Materials Science in the
Sixth Semester.
5. An Elective paper “Acoustical Physics” with the Course Code
PH18/5E/ACP is introduced in the Fifth Semester as an optional paper to
Basic Electronics and Electronic Devices (PH18/5E/EED).

theoretical understanding of the elective paper Acoustical Physics
introduced in the Fifth Semester through practical sessions.
7. To include one more unit with Mechanics concepts in the paper
“Mechanics and Mathematical Physics “ in the Fifth Semester; while the
Classical Mechanics concepts and its applications in the said paper to be
incorporated in the paper “Quantum Mechanics and Relativity” offered
in the Sixth Semester to observe more relevance in the respective papers.
The name of the suggested paper would be “Classical Mechanics
Quantum Mechanics and Relativity” with appropriate rearrangement of
units in the paper.
8. Ehrenfest’s equations were removed from Unit IV of Heat and
Thermodynamics in the Second Semester, for the benefit of the
understanding of the students.
9. It was suggested by the Board to have one more theory paper in the First
and Third Semesters to give more weightage to the Course and to cater
to the inculcation of more Physics concepts from the students’
perspectives.
10.To specifically mention about the depth of concepts (Qualitative only/
Overview) mentioned in Units II, III and IV in the elective paper
“Materials Science” offered in the Sixth Semester to add more clarity to
the said units from the perspective of the External Examiners and
Question Paper setters.
11.To mention explicitly the different Maxwell’s Equations in the paper
“Electromagnetism” offered in the Sixth Semester.
12.Self Study papers for Advanced Learners (Students with more than 70%
of marks as aggregate) “Medical Physics” with Course Code
“PH18/3S/MPH and “Nanoscience and Nanotechnology” with Course
Code “PH18/5S/NSN” are introduced in the III and V semesters
respectively.
The syllabus for outcome based education was scrutinized and ratified by
the board of studies and the following suggestions were given for M.Sc.
Physics.

1. It was suggested that MoUs can be signed with hospitals for the Medical
Technology elective paper so that the students can get hands on training and
certification which will help them in career placement.

2. Industrial/ field visits should be conducted for relevant papers.

3. Feedback on student performance must be collected from the Institutions /
Industries /R&D Labs where students take up internship.

4. Feedback on the facilities and guidance received from the Institutions /

Industries /R&D labs must be collected from the students taking up the
internships.
5. Data Bank of the Institutions / Industries / R & D Labs where students take
up internship must be created by the department.
6. Fundamentals of Nano Graphene topic to be included in Nanoscience and
Nanotechnology paper.

7. Course outcomes should highlight the relevance of the pertinent topic in

research.

8. The components for evaluation pattern in continuous assessment for project

were suggested.
The components are

• Selection of problem and review of Literature

• Periodical review or reports evaluation
• Seminar
• Internal viva voce

9. The question paper pattern should specify that section A is EITHER/ OR

type choice of questions.

10. Changes for improvement of Programme Specific Outcome were

suggested.
