I-Ph.D.



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


The shortlisted candidates based on their JAM ranking/score will have to undergo an online interview.

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.
