It also offers centralized M.Sc. lecture course programme for the students of other centres (viz. the affiliated colleges). It also acts as a centralized admissions center for admission to M.Sc. (by papers), to all the postgraduate centres of the University. The admission to the M.Sc. programme is merit-based following the stipulated criteria for reserved categories. The other programmes admit students following an entry test and/or interview. The department presently offers several electives at the second year of the M.Sc. programme, namely Nuclear Physics, Solid State Physics, Solid State Device Physics, Electronics & Communications, Electronics (Microprocessor, Microcomputers, Embedded systems), Astronomy, Space Physics, Materials Science, Laser Physics, Plasma Physics and other advanced specialized topics. In addition, the M.Sc.(by research) programme is offered with requirement of two theory papers. The creation and maintenance of the necessary infrastructural facilities of the Department are financed by the University. The additional finance required for research work is procured by individual faculty members from various funding agencies like the UGC, DST, BRNS, DOE, IUC etc. The department has major research facilities in the experimental areas of semiconductor physics, ion implantation, materials science, surface physics, liquid crystals and in theoretical high energy physics and electronic structure studies. Research in Page 20 of 82 the currently emerging area of Nanotechnology and Nanoscience is also being pursued by most of the faculty members within their areas of expertise. The Department faculty has formal and informal research collaborations with researchers from national and international institutions. Teaching faculty members are recruited according to UGC norms of qualification and the State Government rules. The department presently has 12 full time faculty members (of the 19 sanctioned posts), 9 of whom are PhD holders. The other members possess the minimum prescribed qualification of assistant professors viz post-graduate degree and NET/SET qualified. They are currently pursuing research in various experimental areas of Nuclear Physics and Materials Science. The other faculty members are recognized PhD guides in various areas of experimental and theoretical Physics. There have been about 83 publications in peer reviewed journals and 60 conference presentations by faculty during the last five years (2005-10). Some of the publications have been in high impact factor journals with individual citation index to a maximum of 4 and the overall index averaging out to about 1.7 -2. Many of them have made presentations abroad in US and several parts of Europe, including the prestigious Large Hadron Collider (LHC) facility at Geneva. There are a total of 316 students enrolled in University for the MSc programme of which 64 students are enrolled in the Department opting for the eight areas of specialization offered at the second year. The numbers currently enrolled for the MPhil and PhD programme are about 5 and 13 respectively. The number of male candidates is generally more in the MSc programme, though these numbers vary over the years and there is no distinct trend. The demand ratio of the M.Sc. programme is high; about 450 applications are received for the 240 available seats. The success rate of the students during the last five years (2005-10) is on an average about 70% while the drop-out rate has been minimal limited to about 2 or 3 out of the 68 enrolled for M.Sc. in the Department. The faculty members co-ordinate with the Central Library for acquisition and subscription of books and research journals (print/ soft/ online versions) and most of the standard journals are available. In addition to the Central Library facility, the department has around 200 books and periodicals in the Departmental Library. Presently, these books are housed in the Materials Science Laboratory in the Ground floor and are accessible to students and faculty members for reference when required. There are about 110 computers in the Department distributed amongst the laboratories, office and the faculty members. Most of the computers are connected to the internet and a dedicated Internet Laboratory with 15 PC terminals is available to the students. The air-conditioned seminar room on the third floor is equipped with the LCD projector and PC with internet access and is supplemented with the white board. These resources are being constantly updated with the advancement in technology. Apart from die traditional method of board teaching, modem ICT enabled methods using the Power Point presentations on LCD projector and audio-video educative material available as CDs and accessed from the internet, are liberally utilized by the faculty members. Students are also encouraged to develop project presentations using these resources. The courses and syllabi undergo revision every five years and the process is facilitated by the Board of Studies in the subject constituted of teaching faculty members Page 21 of 82 from the University Department (Post Graduate) and the affiliated institutions (Undergraduate and Post Graduate) as well as some eminent scientists from research institutions like BARC or TIFR and also related industries. The major consideration has been to update the curriculum in synchronicity with the current thrust areas so as to enable students develop the requisite skills and aid their employability. The thrust area of information technology and development of associated hardware and software in the earlier decade led to the introduction of electives in Electronics specializing in Microprocessors and Communication. The availability of expertise of faculty members in the areas of LASERs and Materials Science was instrumental in introducing the electives in these areas at the second year of the M.Sc. The elective of Astronomy and Space Science was introduced in the early years of the present millennium with input from eminent scientists from Tata Institute of Fundamental Research (TIFR), Mumbai, Indian Institute of Geomagnetism(nG), Mumbai and Inter-University Centre of Astronomy and Astrophysics (IUCAA), Pune; some of these scientists were adjunct faculty members of the department. The thrust area of Materials Science and presently Nanotechnology has prompted the introduction of these electives or a few modules in the existing related electives. The research in the thrust areas are supported by government funding agencies procured by the department and individual faculty members. The Department had received financial support of Rs 41.5 lakhs under the DST FIST (Level I) in 2001 and was ranked A+ by the DST for its successful implementation. The Department was also recognized by the UGC under their Special Assistance Programme (SAP) at DRS Level I, receiving a grant of Rs 33.4 lakhs for the thrust area of Materials Science in 2004 for a period of 5 years. Several experimental facilities in the materials science, ion implantation and semiconductor laboratories and computational and networking facilities were set up under these schemes. Based on the successful implementation of these projects, the Department further procured assistance of Rs 100 lakhs under the FIST Level H from the DST and of Rs 45 lakhs under the SAP DRS Level H from the UGC. In addition, the faculty members have procured individual grants from funding agencies like the UGC, DST, BRNS, DOE, IUC etc. presently with a total outlay of Rs 72 lakhs while about 21 projects with a total outlay of about Rs 90 lakhs have been completed during the last five years. The outcome of the active research of the faculty members is reflected in the teaching programmes, in both theory and laboratory courses. The research students receiving departmental fellowship assist the teachers in the tutorial or practical sessions. The M.Sc. students are also encouraged to participate in some of the ongoing research programmes by way of minor projects. These factors help in establishing a good rapport amongst the students and faculty members. The faculty members render both academic and personal counseling to students during their interaction. Apart from the teaching and research activities, the Department of Physics has been instrumental in the setting up of the internet facility for the University and this is now being administered by the University Computer Centre. The emergence of departments of Computer Science and Information Technology has been a spring-off of the efforts of the members of the Department over the years, by way of keeping abreast with the advances in these areas. The Department of Physics has also been instrumental in co-ordinating with the Department of Atomic Energy (DAE) in establishing the University of Mumbai - Department Page 22 of 82 of Atomic Energy Centre of Excellence in Basic Sciences (UM-DAE CBS) that commenced their Integrated M.Sc. Programme since 2007. The aim of the special centre was to inculcate interest in the fundamental sciences and nurture world class scientists for the country. A number of faculty members invested their time at the planning stage in designing the syllabus and the infrastructure facilities. Presently, some of the faculty members of the Department actively participate in a few teaching programmes of the Centre in both theory and practical. The Department students also attend some courses in Astronomy and Astrophysics conducted by the Centre. The Department has been organizing a number of seminars and workshops, National and International Conferences on various themes with funding from various agencies like the UGC, MRSI, Indian Academy of Sciences and the University. The weekly seminars held during the terms has renowned resource persons from the local research institutes as well as visiting scientists from both national and international institutes. The Department, under the aegis of the UGC Academic Staff College organizes the Refresher Course for University and College teachers, every year covering various themes. The Refresher course held in January 2011 was based on Theoretical Physics and had as resource persons, Prof Mukunda, President of the Indian Academy of Sciences, Bengaluru and Prof H. S. Mani of the Mathematical Institute, Chennai. The Refresher course in December 2011 was centered on Experimental Physics and the teacher participants had hands-on exposure to ihe experiments of the Experimental Package of the Indian Academy of Sciences designed by Prof R. Srinivasan, at both undergraduate and post-graduate levels, with support from the UM-DAE CBS. The vision of the Department has been: the promotion of the advancement of Science & Technology and the spreading of Education. The National Centre of Nanoscience and Nanotechnology that has been actively supported by several members of the Department since its inception, reflects this vision whose core activities are sponsored research projects, contract R&D and Education with a vision statement of "Creating knowledge is our habit and creating technology is our hobby."' The mission of the Department for the forthcoming years is as follows: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. Mission Achieving academic autonomy and create system which continuously move towards academic excellence. Increase R&D output to work towards achieving short-term goal of minimum 3 research papers (in peer-reviewed international journal) per faculty member. Achieve quality in R&D by producing research papers attracting large citations with a short-term goal of minimum 3 citations per paper. Re-activate Alumni association. Improve quality of M Sc students through smaller class and continuous assessment with credit based system The Department plans to achieve the same by overcoming the present resource crunch in terms of faculty and space. With the hope of tilting of existing unfilled faculty positions and receiving more approved permanent facility, the Department would be able to sustain the ongoing programmes and take up newer challenges.

Physics course (by papers) is as follows: 1. The application form for admission to the course and information brochure can be had from the office of the Head, Department of Physics, University of Mumbai, Vidyanagari Campus, Santacruz (East), Mumbai - 400 098. The application forms carry serial numbers. Any form not so numbered will not be accepted by the Department. While filling up the application form for admission, every student should go through the brochure carefully and fill up the application form for admission according to the instructions mentioned therein. 2. The application forms duly filled-in and signed and accompanied by the originals as well as certified copies of statement of marks, caste certificate and caste validity certificate should be submitted to the staff-in-charge of the admissions during the period specified for the purpose on the notice board in the Department. In case of DTA(V.J), NT-B,NT-C,NT-D, OBC and SBC reserved category candidates the non- creamy layer certificates of the current financial year is also required. Incomplete applications without mark sheet, caste certificate issued by competent authority will be rejected. 3. No individual intimation will be sent to candidates selected for admission including those who are from other Universities. The list of students selected for admission to the course will be put up on the notice board of the Department. Generally three such admission lists based on merit are displayed one after the other in a short interval of time. 4. The candidates should clearly indicate their choice of the Department/college/institute, etc. in the application in order of preference at the time of admission at Part-I. The same will be considered and allotted strictly on the basis of merit and subject to availability. Once the candidate accepts Department/college/institute allotted at the time of admission to Part-I, no change shall be allowed thereafter, as per the rule in force. 5. In case some candidates do not take admission, the vacant seats in various Department/colleges/institutes, from a specific merit list, will be filled as follows: Only those candidates from that particular list who have taken admission but have not been able to secure their priority Department/college/institute could apply for change of Department/college/institute immediately but before the last date of payment of fees corresponding to that particular merit list. Depending upon availability of Department/college/institute desired, they may be granted the requested change in order of merit. 6. If a candidate indicates only one choice for Department/college/institute at the time of Part-I admission then the candidate will be considered only for the asked Department/college/institute and in one merit list only. Further clarification on this can be had from the staff-in-charge of the admissions. 7. The selection of candidates would be strictly on merit basis within each category. 8. For the students from University of Mumbai, only the marks obtained by the candidate in Physics at the third year B.Sc. examination of the University will be considered for deciding merit for admission to the M.Sc. course in Physics. Thus the merit list will be prepared on the third year B.Sc. marks in Physics only. For those candidates who have passed the B.Sc. examination at the second attempt, there will be a reduction of 3% of marks. Page 68 of 82 9. 3% seats are reserved for students coming from other Universities. i. For applicants from Universities other than University of Mumbai there will be a reduction of 10% of marks while preparing merit list. ii. A candidate belonging to University other than the University of Mumbai should have Physics as one of the major subjects at the third year of the B.Sc degree course. For the purpose of calculating the percentage for admission of such a candidate only the marks obtained in the subject of Physics at all the three years of B.Sc. will be taken into account. iii. Such candidates are required to produce the original mark sheets of all the three years along with their applications form duly filled in and signed and accompanied by certified copies of mark sheets of all the three years indicating clearly the marks obtained, along with the maximum marks in the subject of Physics each year. An application without this information will be considered incomplete and rejected. iv. Applicants from other Universities are required to submit a provisional certificate of eligibility while enrolling for the course. This provisional eligibility certificate can be obtained from the Registrar, Eligibility Section of University of Mumbai, Vidyanagari, Mumbai- 400 098 after submitting the application and necessary remittance. 10. The candidate selected for admission to the M.Sc. Part I Physics course will have to pay the fees for registration as a post-graduate student, as notified in the list of selected candidates put up on the notice board of the Department. The fee will have to be paid on or before the last date mentioned in the list, failing which the candidate will forfeit his/her claim to the seat allotted in the list. 11. A candidate who fails to avail of the admission offered to him / her before the last date as mentioned in the first list of selected candidates will not be considered for a seat in the second or subsequent list. 12. The vacancies that may arise on account of the selected candidates not availing themselves of the admission before the last date or those who might withdraw their admission will be notified through subsequent announcements in the Department and students would be chosen from the merit-based waiting list prepared after the third list. Those who are so selected for admission will have to pay the registration fee on or before the date indicated to them while admission is granted, failing which they will forfeit claim of admission to the course and the same will be offered to the next deserving candidate on the merit-based waiting list.
