About the Programme

B.Sc. Physics, Chemistry & Mathematics

This is one of our institution’s oldest programmes in pure sciences and these subjects are considered the foundational pillars of science. They are interconnected and the principles of one often find applications in the other. Along with physics, chemistry is the mother of many contemporary applications of science. For physicists, maths is a tool used to answer questions. For mathematicians, physics can be a source of inspiration, with theoretical concepts such as general relativity and quantum theory providing an impetus for mathematicians to develop new tools.

 

Admission process: The applicants must fill in complete information on the online application form and upload all required certificates (whatever is available) and photos.

Selection process: The shortlisted candidates will be called for an interview. There are two rounds in the interview. Once the final interview is over, candidates have to pay their programme fee within 7 days and the mode of payment must be online. The dates of the interview will be communicated to the shortlisted candidates and will be announced on the website.
