Year: Ph.D (2019)
Experience: "In 2013, I enrolled in the School of Physical Sciences for my Ph.D. program. The school was relatively new at that time, offering a limited number of courses, but the faculty members were exceptionally enthusiastic. Over the next two years, I witnessed rapid development within the school, both in terms of expanding course offerings and increasing research output. The establishment of world-class laboratories further enhanced the academic environment."
Year: Ph.D (2020)
Experience: "Facilities were good. Academic and non-academic staff were supportive."
Year: M.Sc. (2024)
Experience: "My experience at SPS IIT Mandi was wonderful. I feel incredibly lucky to have had the opportunity to study under such exceptional teachers. Additionally, the master's project experience was immensely rewarding, providing invaluable hands-on learning and research opportunities. I am grateful for the support and guidance received throughout my time there, which significantly enriched my academic journey."
Year: M.Sc. (2024)
Experience: "My experience at IIT Mandi's School of Physical Sciences greatly expanded my knowledge base. The research projects effectively challenged us, and the curriculum allowed us to explore other scientific fields beyond physics. Early exposure to the school's diverse research areas would have further enriched our learning journey, allowing students to connect more effectively with potential research opportunities."
Year: B. Tech EP. (2024)
Experience: "Completing my B.Tech in Engineering Physics from the School of Physical Sciences at IIT Mandi was a transformative experience. I delved into a vast array of subjects, gaining a broad understanding of both theoretical and applied physics. The opportunity to explore various fields, including software development and cutting-edge research, was invaluable. Participating in major research projects allowed me to apply my knowledge to real-world problems, enhancing my analytical and problem-solving skills. These experiences taught me the importance of persistence, collaboration, and innovation. Beyond academics, my time at IIT Mandi fostered personal growth, helping me develop a holistic perspective on life and its sustenance. Overall, my journey at IIT Mandi provided me with a comprehensive education, practical experience, and a profound appreciation for life's complexities."
Year: M.Sc. (2021)
Experience: "It was overwhelming throughout the time. I received valuable career guidance and support from my master's research supervisor. The research culture in the department is fantastic, I would say academic modules for master's programs needed to be updated during my period of studying in the department. Also, there's one course experimental research techniques is an underrated course that floats in the wrong semester. It should be floated before the PGP starts. It will be helpful for students to decide, which research field they are interested in to start their research journey."
Year: M.Sc. (2022)
Experience: "It was amazing since I was working in an experimental lab and the basic exposure of research for the very first I gained was in IIT Mandi."
Year: M.Sc. (2022)
Experience: "It was amazing and professors were very helpful and the location was wonderful."
Year: Ph.D.(2023)
Experience: "My experience in SPS unfolds a captivating journey filled with intellectually stimulating courses, dedicated mentors, state-of-the-art laboratories, and a dynamic scholarly community. I learned to face all the problems with great determination and with a smile on my face. The challenges encountered during my PhD were not obstacles but stepping stones, which helped me be ready to contribute meaningfully to the academic tapestry."
Year: I-Ph.D.(2022)
Experience: "I have attended the Integrated Ph.D. program in session 2015-2022. In my master's, I discovered my passion for research and built the required skill sets in physics and computation. Later on, I completed my Ph.D. in computational physics where I received substantial support from my supervisor, Dr. Arti Kashyap. During my stay at IIT Mandi, I was fortunate to receive support and funding from the School of Physical Sciences for my national and international collaborations and conferences/workshops. The entire support from IIT Mandi helps me to explore diverse opportunities and shape my future goals."
Year: M.Sc. (2022)
Experience: "I had a great experience here at IIT Mandi SPS. The faculty has been always very supportive and guided us through all the situations- the online phase, PGP, future applications and avenues, and a lot more. I consider it a great privilege to have been a part of SPS. "
Year: M.Sc.(2023)
Experience: "I have a mix of experience in the school. Some part of the school was nice such as some courses, faculty support, research experience, etc. but on the other hand, some experience was miserable such as practical courses, lack of guidance when it comes to building a career, and lack of proper courses. Perhaps the school can do better if these problems are overcome."
Year: M.Sc(2023)
Experience: "Average.... in lab work The school should there own lab like C4d so we do not have to wait for several weeks to do just an experiment."
Year: M.Sc. (2022)
Experience: "I spent an amazing year on campus with amazing and friendly professors from the School of Physical Sciences. During the coursework, we were taught advanced core physics concepts and offered electives relevant to material science and technology. I attended many interactive seminars which were amazing. The SPS had the best experimental setups, especially for material science research. I had a lot of lab courses as well which gave me a tour of the experimental labs. "
Year: M.Sc. (2022)
Experience: "In my college life, along with studying, my friends enjoyed a lot of other things( midnight birthday party, Diwali, etc). We had new experiences and learned many new things. Our Institutes's D1, G1, and B1 building blocks were a remarkable place in my college life. "
Year: M.Sc.(2022)
Experience: "Discussing the School of Physical Science, I'll begin with the Master's syllabus, which I found particularly fascinating as an aspiring specialist in Condensed Matter Physics. While the program's structure and syllabus were well-crafted, the envisioned quality wasn't consistently reflected in the execution of each course. There seemed to be a lack of emphasis on fostering a robust understanding between faculty and students, hindering the potential for faculty experiences to truly inspire students. Shifting to the research culture, it's noteworthy that nearly all research groups demonstrated proficiency in producing results. However, the avenues for interaction between these groups were not as open as desired. I believe that fostering robust interactions among students, research scholars, and faculty members would greatly benefit in establishing strong collaborations within the school. It's important to acknowledge that the experiences shared might have been influenced by the COVID-19 period."
Year: M.Sc.(2022)
Experience: "Attending the School of Physical Sciences was an experience for me. The courses provided a balance of challenge and inspiration, and the faculty-student dynamic was incredibly supportive. The focus on fostering a research-oriented environment helped me develop my skills and prepared me well for my journey. I am truly thankful for the training I received and feel proud to be an alumnus of SPS. I'm eagerly looking forward to sharing my experiences and contributing to the school's continued legacy through this initiative."
