Master of Science (M.Sc.) in Physics is a full time 2-year (4-semesters) course. There will be four theory
papers in each semester, two laboratory courses in semester I, II, III and one project in semester IV. In
each semester, there will be two internal examinations/assessments. This course focuses on fostering
employability, skill development and core knowledge of the subject.
