Program Overview

Minor Program in Scientific Computing

In addition to help building foundations in traditional theoretical and experimental methods of physics, the program offers significant skill development in the methods of scientific computing to meet increasing need for such skills in teaching and research in physics and applied fields. This unique 5-year integrated program, modelled after the minor programs in scientific computing at University of Texas at Austin and Vanderbilt University and supported by the Departments of Mathematics and Computer Science, offers a wide range of supporting courses in mathematics, computational techniques, programming and elective courses on scientific computing, including 2 semesters of Programming in Python, Vectors and Geometry, Linear Algebra, Transforms and Partial Differential Equations, Numerical Methods, Computational Physics, Data Structures and Algorithms, Machine Learning, Optimization Techniques. Students learn these along with mathematicians, offered as part of the Integrated MSc Program in Mathematics with Minor Program in Datascience.

Some Institutes our students went for Internships/ Project/ Thesis Work of Students in the Previous Years

Research, Internship, Publication and Thesis

Students are encouraged to start research early on. To facilitate this, strong foundation in the fundamental aspects of physics that covers UG curriculum is laid in the first two years followed by introduction of advanced topics from 3^rd year onwards. Many of them get opportunity to work along with PhD scholars and get a hands-on training to prepare themselves for more challenging MSc thesis work. The final year is almost free for students to explore internship or research projects opportunities in premiere institutions like IISc, IITs, or National Labs. Student gain experience to publish a research paper, and develop skills in scientific documentation and communication, while expanding the human knowledge. In the academic year 2019-20 more than 80% of our students have taken up internship offers from reputed institutions.

Amrita Centre for International Programs (ACIP)

Further, the Campus offers exchange program opportunities to our MSc students through Amrita Center for International Programs. When specific opportunity arises, we facilitate them to do their MSc projects even in universities abroad, including those in US and Europe. Recently, one of our students carried out his MSc thesis work at Colorado State University.

Internship/MSc Project or Thesis Options

GATE and UGC-NET

The curriculum has been designed to meet the needs of GATE and UGC-NET syllabus. Guidance is available for students who seek to write and excel in these exams. Many students, benefiting from the rigors of the program, have pursued in the past or are pursuing currently their higher studies in many premiere institutes in India.

Life Skills Training and Industrial Placement

The department of Corporate and Industrial Relations (CIR) has taken up the task of training students (of all integrated programs) with life skills including linguistic, comprehension (reading and listening), efficient data interpretation and inference, group discussion, leadership, competitive test taking, interviewing and other interpersonal skills. A three semester long intense training is offered to all physics students along with students of other departments of Amrita Schools Arts & Sciences and Engineering. The CIR department also helps those students seeking industrial placements through in-campus recruitment by companies.
