The Four-Year Undergraduate Programme (FYUGP) in Physics is an outcome-based and multidisciplinary program designed to provide students with flexibility in achieving their academic and career goals. The curriculum enables students to explore the connections between Physics and other disciplines, fostering a broader understanding of knowledge and its applications. The program includes Discipline-Specific Core (DSC) courses, Discipline-Specific Elective (DSE) courses, and General Foundation Courses comprising Multi-Disciplinary Courses (MDC), Value Addition Courses (VAC), and Skill Enhancement Courses (SEC).
Students have the opportunity to change their major or minor discipline at the end of the second semester. Those opting for Honours with Research can undertake a research project in their chosen area during the fourth year, while Capstone courses are offered in the seventh semester. A wide range of elective courses allows learners to pursue their interests and career aspirations.
The program provides a strong foundation through introductory Physics courses and gradually advances to higher-level topics, preparing students for research and professional careers. Activity-oriented teaching, laboratory experiments, internships, and industry exposure enhance practical skills and real-world understanding. The curriculum aligns with globally competitive standards, equipping graduates with the knowledge, competencies, and employability skills required in academia, research institutions, and modern industries.
