Programme Project Report (PPR)

1. Programme’s Mission and Objectives: Master of Science in Physics Programme


has been designed to provide in depth knowledge in Physics to those students who
are not having opportunity to study in regular mode and for drop-out students from
rural and urban areas of Tamil Nadu. The main Objective of this Programme is to see
that the recent developments in physics, has been included in the enriched M.Sc.,
(Physics) curriculum to meet out the present day needs of Academic and Research,
Institutions andIndustries.

2. Relevance of the Programme with HEI’s Mission and Vision: The Programme
M.Sc., (Physics) is offered to meet current needs of aspiring youths and adult
population and also create awareness about the basic scientific aspects to the society.
This Programme aims at creating equity in education by providing opportunity to
rural people for whom Higher Education isunreachable.

3. Nature of prospective target group of Learners: Master of Science (Physics) is


meant for students who have completed an Undergraduate Degree Programme in
Physics from recognized University or graduate teachers (BT assistant) are the target
groups. It also targets the rural population to reach their dream of obtaining Higher
Education for whom the opportunity weas denied due to lack of limited number of
seats available in the conventional Universitysystem.

4. Appropriateness of Programme to be conducted in ODL mode to acquire


specific skills and competence: Master‟s Degree Programme in Physics will meet
out the present day needs of academic and Research, Institutions and Industries. As
Programme outcome of the students may acquire depth knowledge in Nuclear

4
Physics, Electronics, Mathematical Physics, Classical and Quantum mechanics,
Molecular Physics, Electrodynamics and Material Science which will motivate the
students to go for higher studies/research in Physics. Study materials are given in
the SLM format and Practical are being conducted at LSC‟s.
