BSc Physics, Computer Science (PHCS)

The Physics and Computer Science (PHCS) program, introduced as part of the National Education Policy (NEP) in 2021, is a dual major course designed to integrate the fundamental principles of physics with the innovative technologies of computer science.

The program combines fundamental physics principles with innovative computer science technologies, equipping students with a solid understanding of both fields. Graduates are prepared to address challenges in scientific research, data analysis, computational physics, and engineering. The curriculum emphasizes theoretical knowledge and practical skills, including programming, simulation, and mathematical modeling. As industries increasingly rely on advanced computing, PHCS graduates become versatile professionals who contribute to technological advancements and scientific discoveries, bridging the gap between the physical sciences and the digital realm.

Physics
Physics is the study of nature in an attempt to understand how the universe behaves. The study, from the smallest subatomic particle to the largest galaxies, enables the students to apply this knowledge to analyze physical phenomena and problem-solving in scientific aspects. The study of physics creates new ideas, methods to solve daily life problems and it motivates to formulate new scientific theories and stimulates to find new innovation in a digital era. The study of physics is very interesting and mind-blowing because it is the foundation for all other science fields. Career opportunities in physics spread from a research lab to industries and healthcare to space and astronomy.

The main objective of this course is to provide the strong basic foundation knowledge and comprehend the fundamental concepts and principles in Physics both theoretically and experimentally. After completing the course students will be able to demonstrate the skills and competencies to conduct a wide range of scientific experiments and to identify their area of interest in academic and R & D.

Computer Science
Computer Science is an exciting, growing, challenging field that has revolutionized the world over the years. It has changed the very face of society. It has found a wide range of applications in different spheres of life which includes medicine, communications, automotive technology, weather forecasting, entertainment, mining, pharmacology, forensics, manufacturing, disaster recovery, security, law, business etc. With an overwhelming increase in the widespread usage and popularity, computer education has become inevitable for the common man.

Students choose to major in computer science for a variety of reasons. Many of our students graduate to rewarding computer-related careers in software development, testing, software engineering, system administration, research and development in private and governmental sectors.

Our society is becoming increasingly dependent on technology for every aspect of our lives, from business to social interaction and beyond increasing the demand for graduates in every industry in a wide range of capacities. Owing to the fact that information technology has made an impression in every discipline, most of our graduates acquire a solid foundation which paves way for careers in multifaceted disciplines.
