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.
5. InstructionalDesign:
Level: Post Graduate Programme
Duration: 2 years
Medium: English Medium and in only Tamil Nadu.
Faculty: Dr. E. Kumar, Assistant Professor
Policy of Programme delivery: The Academic Calendar for the Programme will be
available for the learners to track down the chronological events/ happenings. The
Counselling schedule will be uploaded in the TNOU website and the same will be
intimated to the students through SMS.
5
Evaluation System: Examination to Master DegreeProgramme in Physics is
designed to maintain quality of standard. Theory will be conducted by the
University in the identified Examination Centres. For the Assignment students may
be permitted to write with the help of books/materials for each Course, which will
be evaluated by the Evaluators appointed by theUniversity.

courses, two practical courses are included in the Programme. The Curriculum of
Bachelor‟s DegreeProgramme in Physics was approved by the Board of Studies on
19.06.2020. It will be placed for approval forthcoming Academic Council and
Syndicate of our University subsequently. As a part of Quality assurance, the
curriculum for the Programme will be updated once in three years. Necessary steps
will be taken to obtain feedback from the students and the Academic Counsellors
who are part of the Programme for effective delivery of theProgramme.
