 B.Sc., PHYSICS SYLLABUS

Preamble

Physics is one of the basic and fundamental sciences. The curriculum for the graduate
programme in Physics is revised as per the UGC guidelines on Learning Outcome based
Course Framework. The learner-centric courses let the student progressively develop a deeper
understanding of various aspects of physics.
The new curriculum offer courses in the core areas of mechanics, acoustics, optics
and spectroscopy, electricity and magnetism, atomic and nuclear physics, solid state,
electronicsand other fields. The courses will train students with sound theoretical and
experimental knowledge that suits the need of academics and industry.In addition to the
theoretical course work, the students also learn physics laboratory methods for different
branches of physics, specialized measurement techniques, analysis of observational data,
including error estimation and etc. The students will have deeper understanding of laws of
nature through the subjects like classical mechanics, quantum mechanics, statistical physics
etc. The problem solving ability of students will be enhanced. The students can apply
principles in physics to real life problems. The courses like integrated electronics and
microprocessors will enhance the logical skills as well as employability skills. The numerical
methods and mathematical physics provide analytical thinking and provides a better platform
for higher level physics for research.
The restructured courses with well-defined objectives and learning outcomes, provide
guidance to prospective students in choosing the elective courses to broaden their skills not
only in the field of physics but also in interdisciplinary areas.The elective modules of the
framework offer students choice to gain knowledge and expertise in specialized domains of
physics like astrophysics, medical physics, etc.
