Program Overview
This program is designed to attract bright and young minds to the front-line areas of research in physics. Students enrolled in the Integrated Ph.D.(I-Ph.D) program, on successful completion, will be awarded two degrees: a Master of Science (M.Sc.) in Physics and a Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D.) degree. The entry qualification for this I-Ph.D. program is a bachelor's Degree in physical/mathematical sciences. The I-Ph.D. program will have courses that cover both fundamental and advanced areas of physics and has the aim of training the student to be capable of working in frontier areas of science and technology.
Selection process
Selection will be through JAM. Here is the link to the portal.
Program structure
All students admitted to this program will undergo coursework similar to that typically covered in a high-quality M.Sc.
program and coursework of a Ph.D. program. The continuation of the enrolled student in the I-Ph.D. program will be based
on the student’s consistent academic performance throughout the program. Students of the I-Ph.D. program will be able to
take a number of elective courses that are more focused on their research degree. Several elective courses will be made
available to the students to build a strong foundation in the area of his/her research interest.
The students who are admitted to I-PhD program may be allowed to exit the program (if they
wish to), as per the following guidelines:
1) Such students are required to intimate about their choice of exit from I-PhD program
before the end of first academic year.
2) Student who wants to exit from the I-PhD program are allowed to convert their program
to Master of Science (MS) by Research. Student exercising this option will continue with
their course work for the second academic year, followed by one year additional research
work. These students will have to comply with the norms of MS by Research. Such
students will be allotted the research supervisor before the start of second academic year
in the same manner as the regular I-PhD student, who will guide him/her for the second
and third year research work. Such students will be required to complete their ‘MS by
Research’ thesis work.
Fellowship Norms
The fellowship guideline for the students registered in the program will be as per the following:
1) The students joining the I-PhD program would be given the fellowship of Rs 8,000 per
month for the first year. The fellowship will be converted to HTRA fellowship (JRF)
from the second academic year, subject to the fulfillment of the all requirements such as
CGPA, guide allocation, etc. The I-PhD students will be given fellowship for a maximum
of 6 years from the date of registration.
2) Students who opt to exit from the program with ‘MS by Research’ will get a fellowship
equivalent to the fellowship of MS by Research (which is ₹12,400 per month currently)
for the maximum of two more academic years only.
3) Students who have failed to achieve the minimum CGPA at the end of first academic
year and are being terminated with MSc degree will not get any fellowship from second
year onward.
