Four-Year Undergraduate Program (FYUGP) in Physics at the
Islamic University of Science and Technology, Awantipora in compliance with the National
Education Policy 2020 reflects a commendable commitment to academic excellence and the
advancement of knowledge. This program, carefully crafted to provide students with a robust
foundation in theoretical and experimental physics, aligns with the university's dedication to
expanding educational offerings and empowering the next generation of knowledge seekers.
The program's emphasis on interdisciplinary exploration is particularly noteworthy, as it encourages
students to explore the connections between physics and other fields such as computer science,
quantum computation/information, and material science. This interdisciplinary approach not only
broadens students' perspectives but also equips them with the skills necessary to tackle complex realworld challenges that often require a multidisciplinary approach.
Furthermore, the inclusion of skill-based courses, in accordance with the objectives of the National
Education Policy 2020, ensures the holistic development of students and enhances their
employability in a variety of sectors. The program's curriculum, comprising of Major Courses (MJ),
Interdisciplinary Minor Courses (MN), Multidisciplinary Courses (MD), Skill Enhancement Courses
(SEC), and Ability Enhancement Courses (AEC), is designed to provide students with a
comprehensive education that encompasses both theoretical knowledge and practical skills.
The commitment of the faculty members, described as young, dynamic, and research-oriented, is
instrumental in guiding students through their academic journey and nurturing their scientific
curiosity and critical thinking skills. The combination of classroom teaching, laboratory work, and
hands-on research experiences ensures that students graduate with analytical thinking, mathematical
proficiency, problem-solving capabilities, and a deep understanding of natural phenomena. The program's emphasis on preparing students for diverse career paths, including research and
development in industrial sectors, academia, data science, engineering, and finance, as well as
advanced studies in physics or related disciplines, underscores its relevance and potential impact.
Overall, the proposed FYUGP in Physics at the Islamic University of Science and Technology holds
great promise in shaping the next generation of physicists and contributing to the advancement of
knowledge and innovation. Multiple Entry Exit System (MEES):
As the program offers multiple entry exit system (MEES), the below strategy explains it:
1. 1stYear:
a. Entry: Any student who has passed the higher secondary examination with at least 55%
marks will be eligible for the program.
b. Exit: After successful completion of two semesters, a student can exit and shall qualify for
an undergraduate certificate. However, he/she needs to qualify an additional 4-credit
vocational course/internship/Community Engagement.
2. 2nd Year:
a. Entry: All the students who have obtained undergraduate certificate after completing the
first year (two semesters) of the undergraduate programme are eligible for the entry to the 2nd
year of the programme.
b. Exit: After completion of four semesters, a student can exit and shall qualify for award of
UG Diploma. However, he/she needs to qualify an additional 4-credit vocational
course/internship/Community Engagement. 3. 3rd Year:
a. Entry: The entry requirement for 3rd year is a diploma obtained after completing two years
(four semesters) of the undergraduate programme.
b. Exit: After completion of six semesters, a student can exit and shall qualify for award of an
UG Degree (3 Year) in Physics.
If a student scores a CGPA of 7.5 or higher, he/she shall become eligible for 4-year UG Hons
with Research.
4. 4thYear with Hons/Research:
a. Entry: An individual seeking admission to a Bachelor’s degree (Hons/Research) in physics
is required to have completed all requirements of the relevant three-year bachelor degree.
b. Exit-I: After completion of eight Semesters, a student shall qualify for award of UG Hons
Degree (4 Year) in Physics.
Exit-II: After completion of eight Semesters with a 12 credit Research Project in Physics,
the student shall qualify for the award of UG Hons Degree (4 Year) with Research in
Physics. |
