PhD in Integrated M.Sc.- PhD in Physics

This Integrated MSc-PhD. program is open for students with Bachelor’s degree, highly meritorious, and motivated towards fundamental research in Natural Sciences such as physics, chemistry, earth and planetary sciences, evolutionary and developmental biology. However, for the current academic year, only Physics discipline is available, with a choice of specialization in (i) Astrophysics, (ii) Nuclear Physics. A student in this program would complete the courses mandatory for a Ph.D., along with the courses essential for an MSc., during the first two semesters, and also acquire ample research experience by working on a research project, during the 3rd and the 4th semesters. On successful completion of four semesters, the student can opt to exit with an Msc (by Research) degree in Physics, or can opt to continue for PhD. Ph.D. level work begins at the 5th semester. Such a student would be more equipped, than a regular MSc student, while beginning to do Ph.D. level work.
