1. About the Department of Physics

The Department of Physics is housed mainly in Lokmanya Bal Gangadhar

Tilak Bhavan and partly in Sant. Dnyaneshwar Bhavan located at the beautiful

Vidyanagari Campus of the University of Mumbai. The Vidyanagari Campus is off the

C.S.T. Road, now known as Vidyanagari Marg, near Kalina and is accessible both from

Central Railway and Western Railway. BEST buses 318, 313, 312, 37, 181, 213, 374,

306, 449 and 619 pass via Vidyanagari Campus connecting different parts of the city of

Mumbai. On the very first visit, the students fall in love with the campus

environment. Its well laid gardens and vast area, away from dense and noisy city,

help to create an atmosphere for creative activities. Staff quarters, the Girls' and

Boys' hostels and the late evening research workers keep the campus alive, also in the

evenings. The Campus central library houses books and journals of almost all the

subjects. The Canteens offer a common meeting place for students and teachers from

the various disciplines of Arts, Science, Commerce and Humanities. The campus

offers an excellent opportunity for an all round development of student’s personality

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

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

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

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:

Mission

1. Achieving academic autonomy and create system which continuously move towards

academic excellence.

2. Increase R&D output to work towards achieving short-term goal of minimum 3

research papers (in peer-reviewed international journal) per faculty member.

3. Achieve quality in R&D by producing research papers attracting large citations with a

short-term goal of minimum 3 citations per paper.

4. Re-activate Alumni association.

5. 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.

6. The candidate shall prepare and submit for practical examination a certified Journal

based on the practical course carried out under the guidance of a faculty member

with minimum number of experiments as specified in the syllabus for each group.

of 82

3. Standard of Passing for University Examinations:

As per ordinances and regulations prescribed by the University for semester based credit

and

grading system.

4. Standard point scale for grading:

Grade Marks Grade Points

O 70 & above 7

A 60 to 69.99 6

B 55 to 59.99 5

D 4 5 to 49.99 3

E 40 to 44 .99 2

F (Fail) 39.99 & below 1

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 ith

course of a semester.

i=1

SGPA = ---------------- pi = Grade point earned in the ith

course

Σ Ci i = 1,2,….n represents number of courses for which the student

is

i=1 registered.

of 82

3 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 Cj = The number of credits earned in the jth

course upto the

j=1 semester.for whic h the CGPA is calculated

CGPA = ---------------- pj = Grade point earned in the jth

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 DT-

A(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.

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

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.
