The B.Sc in Physics and Mathematics program is a unique and challenging
undergraduate course that combines the study of two fundamental sciences – Physics
and Mathematics. The program is designed to give students a strong foundation in the
theoretical and experimental aspects of both subjects, and to prepare them for a wide
range of career opportunities in the fields of science, technology, engineering and
mathematics (STEM).
This BSc Honors course is a four-year course with multiple exit points as per the New
Education Policy(NEP). Each semester includes appropriate and comprehensive
practical papers which expose students to practical applications of the theory subjects.
For students hoping to pursue further studies, it will enable them to get a Masters
degree, in one- year only.
B Sc Programme syllabus comprises courses related to core subjects, open electives
from other disciplines, skill enhancement and value added courses apart from
languages.
The Discipline Based Core Subject, Physics is a scientific discipline perceived and
understood by interacting with our surroundings. It is the science that involves the study
of matter, its motion, and behavior through space and time along with related concepts
such as energy and force. Undergraduate degree in Physics provides an in-depth
knowledge of the principles & theories along with its practical applications. It aims at
inculcating a spirit of inquiry and research aptitude in the students. The course covers a
wide array of specialized topics such as Mechanics, Optics, Quantum Physics,
Materials Science, Nanotechnology, Solid-State Physics etc. The discipline is also
meant for cross-functionality and bridges the gap between theoretical Physics and
experimental Physics with emphasis in research and development, design, and
analysis.
The other Discipline Based Core subject which is Mathematics is the language of the
Universe and Queen of Sciences. An undergraduate degree in Mathematics is the
culmination of in-depth knowledge in various branches of Pure and Applied
Mathematics. This course improves the ability to communicate various mathematical
concepts effectively using examples and their geometrical visualization using computer-
based practical methods by using Free and Open Source Software (FOSS) tools like
MAXIMA, PYTHON, etc.
The curriculum covers a wide range of topics, including classical mechanics,
electromagnetism, quantum mechanics, thermodynamics, mathematics, statistical mechanics, and numerical analysis. Students will also learn about the latest trends and developments in the field, such as optics, solid-state physics, and mathematical modeling.
