These courses are aimed at providing advanced knowledge to the students in specialized courses, where the students can employ the fundamental knowledge that they have acquired through the core courses. These courses are of advanced nature and enable the students to acquire highest level skills in the fields of Astronomy and Astrophysics, Nanomaterials, Fiber-optical communications and Advanced Electronics. As these courses are primarily of do-it-yourself and hands-on-training type, therefore, students are expected to devote much of their time in laboratory activities in addition to the conventional classroom teaching. Therefore, roughly half of the time allocated to this course shall be utilized for the classroom teaching, imparting instructions, etc., while remaining half shall be utilized by the students in developing their skills through the hands-on exercises. The exercises to be undertaken for this purpose shall be of different nature than that of their regular laboratory / practical courses. There shall be four such skill enhancement courses offered by the School each of four theory papers and four laboratory courses and will be spread over two semesters (Semester III and IV) and the students have freedom to choose any one of these special courses depending on their interest and inclination. M Sc Physics students have a freedom to choose either of the following Skill Enhancement Courses as their internal electives. However, these courses shall make the 24 credits (theory courses of 16 credits and lab course of 08 credits) of their post graduation and shall span over two semesters i.e., semester III and IV. The available choices at presented are as below and shall be augmented on need basis:
- Astrophysics
- Materials Science
- Fiber Optics and Lasers
- Electronics
