Department of Physics
Evaluative Report 2005-11
The Department of Physics is a post-graduate department of the University founded
in 1971 and it conducts the M.Sc., M.Phil. and Ph.D. programmes. 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.

2. Scheme of Examination and Passing:
1. This course will have 40% Term Work (TW) / Internal Assessment (IA) and 60%
external (University written examination of Three Hours duration for each course
paper and practical examination of Three Hours duration for each practical). All
examination will be held at the end of each semester and will be conducted by the
University as per the existing norms.
2. Term Work / Internal Assessment - IA (40%) and University examination (60%)- shall
have separate heads of passing.
3. To pass, a student has to obtain minimum grade point E, and above separately in the
IA and University examination.
4. The University examination for Theory and Practical shall be conducted at the end of
each Semester and the evaluation of Project work i.e. Dissertation if any, at the end
of the each Semester.
5. The candidates shall appear for examination of 4 theory courses each carrying 75
marks of 3 hours duration and 2 practical courses each carrying 100 marks at the end
of each semester.

5. Grade Point Average (GPA) calculation:
1. GPA is calculated at the end of each semester after grades have been processed and
after any grade have been updated or changed. Individual assignments / quizzes /
surprise tests / unit tests / tutorials / practicals / project / seminars etc. as prescribed
by University are all based on the same criteria as given above. The teacher should
convert his marking into the Quality-Points and Letter-Grade.
2. Performance of a student in a semester is indicated by a number called Semester
Grade Point Average (SGPA). It is the weighted average of the grade points obtained
in all the subjects registered by the students during the semester
Σ Cipi
Ci = The number of credits earned in the i
th
course of a semester.
i=1
SGPA = ----------------
Σ Ci
is
i=1
pi = Grade point earned in the i
th
course
i = 1,2,….n represents number of courses for which the student
registered.
Page 39 of 82

The Final grade will be decided on the basis of Cumulative Grade Point Average
(CGPA) which is weighted average of the grade point obtained in all the semesters
registered by the learner
Σ Cjpj
j=1
CGPA = ----------------
Cj = The number of credits earned in the j
th
course upto the
semester.for whic h the CGPA is calculated
pj = Grade point earned in the j
th
course*
Σ Cj
j = 1,2,….n represents number of courses for which the student is
j=1
registered upto the semester for which the CGPA is calculated.
* : A letter Grade lower than E in a subject shall not be taken
into consideration for the calculation of CGPA
The CGPA is rounded upto the two decimal places.

The procedure for enrollment of candidates to the M.Sc. 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

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

(bharathiya vidut nigam limited), PRL, ONGC etc. Also you can apply for Combined Defense
Service Exam (CDSE) for which the notification will come in the month of August and March.
Opportunities abroad.
Can be divided into English speaking countries (US, UK, Australia, Newzeeland, Canada) and
non-English speaking countries (most of the European countries). In English speaking countries
if you have to do PhD in good institutes then you should have cleared a language profiency
test. Either TOEFL (Test of English as a foreign language) or IELTS (International English
language testing system). In addition to this one can also write GRE (graduate record
examination). This can be written either for general or in physics. But you can still get an
opportunity to do PhD without clearing these exams. But one should be careful about the
institute and its standard. Most of the European countries have their own language. Some of
the countries where we can do research are Germany, Russia, France, Italy, Spain,
Switzerland, Denmark, Austria. There are so many opportunities in these institutes. They can be
seen through internet. Some of the websites like www.tiptop.iop.org gives information about
the vacancies in various places in the world. Generally these websites will be in their own
language. So to know about the details the web page will contain a word 'English' of flag of
Briton. By clicking that you can get the information in English. Even if such options are
not there then you can use the website www.google.com/translate to translate that
webpage into English. People those who are planning to do research should obtain passport.
Many applicants will require it. Then should be clear whether the institute offering scholarship
or not. Even if they offer scholarship we should ask will there be any fees waiver for doing
PhD. We should be also be clear whether we can enroll for PhD.
