Note:

The FIRST and SECOND semester courses shall be common to all the students. In the THIRD and FOURTH semesters, the students shall specialize in one of the three specializations, namely, Condensed matter physics (CM), Electronics (EL) and Nuclear physics (NP).  Students in a particular specialization are required to take two general theory papers (out of which, one is the choice based paper, in the third semester only) and two specialization papers and the practical in that specialization
