Program Overview
Open to students with a strong masters level background in physics. Exceptional students with a B.Tech/BE degree are also eligible for this program. During the first year the students need to complete a set of mandatory courses and clear comprehensive examination at the end of the year.
Selection Process
The students are selected through a written test and interview conducted by the department. Those who have qualified at lease one of GATE/JEST/NET are eligible to apply.
