BSc Physics | TU

Overview

Within the subset of pure science studies offered by the Institute of Science and Technology at Tribhuvan University, the Bachelor of Science in Physics program is the one dedicated to the study of the physical universe. Within this program, the students are educated on the workings of the known universe from the smallest sub-atomic particles to the cosmic giants and the interactions between them under the constraints of time and space.

This amazing field of study has been made available to students via TU in the form of a 4-year degree since 2069 BS (2012 AD). Prior to that, the BSc. Physics program at TU was a 3 year course.
 

Program Structure

As previously stated, the BSc. Physics program at TU is a 4 year program. Each year the students are to attend lectures and practical sessions on 7 subjects and at the end of each year they will have to take a board exam for the same subjects. Some subjects in the curriculum are an extension of the courses studied during the +2 years. However, as the program progresses the students will be exposed to more advanced concepts in mathematics and physics.
Most practical subjects are worth 50 marks whilst the theory subjects are rated higher at 100 marks. In between the two, there are certain computer-based and math-based courses that make up courses worth 75 points each. Towards the end of the program, in the final year, the students are given the opportunity to choose between two 100-mark papers— Material Science or Project work. One is a theory subject whereas the other is a research-based subject with a defense presentation to conclude.
 

Specializations

There are no specializations available in the BSc. Physics program at TU. The course is a generic one designed to impart the knowledge of pure science in physics and mathematics. In fact, the course is so head strong toward the pure sciences that it does not even include one or two soft skill courses like language or communication.
 

Entrance Exam

Should the student meet the standard academic cut off for the program, they would have to take an entrance exam to secure their name in the merit list for the program. The first step in doing that is to register for an entrance exam.
The student can go to any TU-affiliated college offering the BSc. Physics program and pick up the entrance exam form or find the form on the official website of Institute of Science and Technology, TU. When they receive the form, they should also inquire about the necessary fees and attachments that are to be submitted along with the form. Once the form is filled out and the necessary attachments are ready, the student should either go to the respective college with the entrance fees in cash or produce a bank deposit voucher of the same amount payable to the college to formally register for the entrance exam and receive an admit card.
On the day of the entrance exam, the students will have to sit down for 2 hours and attempt a hundred multiple-choice answer-style questions. The question layout will have 40 questions from Physics, 40 questions from maths, and 20 questions to validate your English aptitude. To pass this test, the student would have to obtain at least 30 points.That being said, just passing the entrance test does not ensure a seat in the program. The students who pass the exam will be considered for the merit list. The higher that one scores in the exam, the higher they would be ranked on the merit list, and the students with higher ranking on the merit list will be given priority during enrollment. If two students score the same score on the entrance exam, the student with the better academic history will be given priority.
