Bachelor of Science [B.Sc] (Applied Physics) Syllabus, Course Structure and Program Schedule 2024-2025

Course Structure:

The course is a combination of classroom teaching along with practical training compulsory for all students to successfully complete their degree course. The course has a well defined structure where students are taught the basics and fundamentals of theory in the class and they have to perform and analyze these fundamental concepts during their practical classes.

The practical classes provide the real-life situation to the students and it gives them the hands-on experience which shall be necessary for them during the course of their career. Generally on an average four courses are offered as practical courses while the others are theory based.

Scheme of Assessment:

The scheme of assessment is divided between the internal assessment and the external assessment which is based on the examinations. The papers are accompanied by practical and these practical examinations also have a similar assessment criterion. The division of marks is as:

Category	Internal Marks	External Marks
Theory	25	75
Practical	40	60

Syllabus:

The syllabus for the B. Sc. Applied Physics course is divided into practical classes and theoretical classes. An overview of the topics to be covered under the course is as follows:
