Masters of Science (Physics) at University of Rajasthan

University of Rajasthan gives many courses and one of them is Masters of Science (MSc) in physics. You can get degree of this MSc in physics in 3 ways:

• Semester system at Department of Physics, University of Rajasthan and Kanoria College, Jaipur.
• Annual system at any affiliated colleges with University of Rajasthan.
• From any autonomous college which is affiliated with University of Rajasthan and system depends on corresponding college. For example, Subodh College, Jaipur.

Syllabus depends on system. I am trying to brief the syllabus of above three processes:

In semester system:

• There are 2 type of theory papers: Compulsory and Elective.
• There are 3 compulsory papers in each semester and as per the availability of teachers, some of the elective papers will be assigned at department.
• Compulsory papers are as:
• 1st semester: Classical Mechanics (701); Quantum Mechanics (702); Classical Electrodynamics - I (704)
• 2nd semester: Atomic and molecular physics (802); Classical Electrodynamics (804); Mathematical Methods in Physics (805)
• 3rd semester: Advanced Quantum Mechanics (901); Statistical and Solid State Physics (902); Nuclear physics - I (903)
• 4th semester: Introduction to Quantum Field Theory (X01); Solid State Physics (X02); Nuclear Physics - II (X03)
• There are 1 compulsory lab in each semester. In each semester there is on elective lab available. Since, student have choice in 3rd and 4th semester whether he want to choose lab or a project.
• Student have to earn atleast 120 credits in 4 semesters and have to get passing marks in all compulsory. Since, each theory paper gives 4 credits and each lab or project gives 6 credits.
• Other details about this course will found in coming blogs. Syllabus for semester scheme can be found at University website (pdf).

In annual scheme:

• In annual scheme in previous student have all compulsory papers. There are 4 papers:
• Classical Mechanics and Mathematical Method in Physics
• Classical Electrodynamics
• Quantum Mechanics, Atomic and Molecular Physics
• Electronics, Numerical Methods and Computer Programming
• In final year there are 3 compulsory papers:
• Advanced Quantum Mechanics and Introductory Quantum Field Theory
• Nuclear Physics
• Statistical and Solid State Physics
• In final year, one subject can be choose by student if his/her college have facilities. As per present syllabus there are two papers available:
• Microwave Electronics
• Plasma Physics
• In previous and final lab is compulsory.
• Other details about this course will found in coming blogs. Syllabus for annual scheme can be found at University website (pdf).

At autonomous bodies:

• Autonomous bodies have rights to make there own ways to design syllabus and course. Syllabus for Subodh College, Jaipur can be found on there website. If you want to know about any other place, please let us know in comments. We shall update you.
