PhD degrees are offered in diverse areas of theoretical and experimental physics. The PhD curriculum consists of one year of course work that imparts advanced concepts of physics to the students, a comprehensive examination, graduate seminars, research work and successful completion of PhD viva-voce examination and thesis defence leading to the PhD degree. PhD students are encouraged to attend national and international conferences and present their research work to the scientific community. Faculty members and PhD students of the department are actively participating in research in the frontiers of science in both theoretical and experimental areas.
