Deanery of Sciences

Physics

  • Physics & Computer Science
  • Physics & Mathematics

 

The Department of Physics offers three types of degrees:

• A three-year Bachelor of Science in Physics degree OR a three-year dual major Bachelor of Science degree.
• A four-year Bachelor of Science in Physics (Honours) degree.
• A four-year Bachelor of Science in Physics (Honours with Research) degree.

The three-year degree allows students to apply for a two-year Master’s degree in Physics and other allied subjects. The four-year degree allows students to apply for a one-year Master’s degree; additionally, a four-year Honours with Research degree allows students to directly apply for a Ph.D.

We are currently the only institute in North Bengal offering dual major degrees and the only Physics Department in North Bengal offering Quantum Computation as a specialization.

The learning outcomes of the undergraduate degree course in physics are

  1. a) Knowledgeable and Technically Capable:
    The graduate has the ability to apply the knowledge of basic science principles in the solution of complex problems of scientific and technical interest.
  2. b) Problem Solver:
    The graduate has the ability to identify, formulate and analyse complex scientific problems and reach substantiated conclusions using first principles of mathematical, computational and natural sciences.
  3. c) Innovative Thinker:
    The graduate has the ability to create, select and apply suitable techniques, resources and the use of modern analytical and scientific tools to identify, formulate and solve problems pertaining to applied science.
  4. d) Modern Tools Oriented:
    The graduate has the ability to apply appropriate techniques and resources of modern technology and computational tools for prediction and modelling of science problems.
  5. e) Scientifically Tempered:
    The graduate has the ability to develop a scientific temper and inquisitiveness for further studies, research and the promotion of scientific thinking.
  6. f) Effective Communicator:
    The graduate has the ability to communicate scientific and technical information in oral, written and graphical form to both science and lay audience.
  7. g) Group Worker:
    The graduate has the ability to work as a member and a leader in any team, and to manage projects and work in a multidisciplinary environment.
  8. h) Global Citizen:
    The graduate has an understanding of their professional, social and ethical responsibilities for a better society.
  9. i) Life-Long Learner:
    The graduate has the ability to recognize the need and importance of engaging in life-long learning.

Student must have studied Physics and Mathematics in the +2 level.

Why study Physics? 

A Physics degree is for anyone who is naturally curious and enjoys understanding how systems work internally and connect to each other. A system can mean anything from stars and galaxies, atoms and molecules, and even “non-physical” systems like government organizations, biological systems, river systems etc. 

A Bachelor’s degree in Physics teaches you three main skills: 
(i) technical knowledge and understanding of physical systems, 
(ii) the ability to analyze problems and unknowns and work your way towards a solution,
(iii) constructing experimental setups or tests to understand how systems work and evolve. 

The last two skills are of primary importance and can be applied to anything from the study of nanophysics to the administration of corporate and government organizations.

What are we like? 

An experienced faculty with a good mix of research and academic experience, with a large coverage of specialist topics that cater to most student needs. Our faculties have degrees from international institutions, IITs, and Central Universities. Our areas of expertise spans quantum computation, nanophysics, computational physics, condensed matter physics, astrophysics and cosmology, and physics pedagogy.

What are your career options? 

A Bachelor’s degree in Physics will open you up to two types of careers: technical careers where your technical knowledge of physics is a requirement and non-technical careers where your skill in analysis and testing can be applied to all sorts of “non-physics” problems.

The following is a small selection of career options that will benefit greatly from a background in physics:

• Technical (physics-based): Teaching in schools and colleges, research, industry jobs in nanophysics, telecommunications, aerospace, automobile industry, physics simulations, etc. 

• Technical (non-physics based): Careers in data science, machine learning, artificial intelligence, forensic science, cyber security, software development, game development, etc. 

• Defense and government service: Careers in military, specifically Air Force and Navy, military metrological careers, decision-making public service posts via UPSC and WBPSC.
