Institute of Physics is conducting the Pre-doc courses in the existing format for around 20 years with some modifications as and when required. It is now felt that a major restructuring of the courses is necessary in view of the current research interests and student backgrounds.
The major modifications proposed are
(i) the switch over from three trimesters to two Semesters (Aug-Dec and Jan-June/July),
and
(ii) several optional courses every semester, instead of making all courses compulsory.
