Master of Philosophy (MPhil) in Physics is a graduate program in the branch of physics. It is a usually 2 years program emphasizing on advanced research work in certain specific areas of physics like nuclear physics, particle physics, astrophysics, condensed matter physics. The students have to do research work and complete their research project under the supervision of faculty members and submit a dissertation as part of their coursework at the end of the program.
The entrance tests that are commonly acknowledge for admission into M.Phil. The graduate courses in Physics in numerous Universities in India include CSIR UGC NET for JRF, UGC NET, JEST, JAM, GATE and other tests conducted by the Universities/institution of Central and State Governments. It is crucial to pass these examinations, and good scores are a testament to one’s understanding of the physics material from undergraduate studies.
