A college/university teacher or a member of the research staff of a research organization holding a Master’s degree in Physics, who have shown undoubted promise for research may also be considered for admission. These candidates will, however, be required to complete a course work of 24 credit hours.
Students from all over the country are admitted on the basis of merit and regional quota in M.Sc. and on the basis of pure merit in M.Phil and Ph.D. programmes. A large number of scholarships, research fellowships and stipends are available for pursuing research for M.Phil and Ph.D. Physics degrees at the department which include University Fellowships, Mrs. Mumtaz Riazuddin Fellowship, Shabuddin Memorial Scholarship, Dr. A.Q. Khan M.Phil Fellowships, Dr. Riazuddin Siddiqui Ph.D. Fellowship. Apart from these, most faculty members have their own research projects funded by national and international funding agencies such as ASICTP, HEC, PSF etc. These projects include fellowships for young physicists, which may be utilized for research leading to M.Phil or Ph.D. degrees.
Areas of Physics in which research work leading to M.Phil. and Ph.D degrees may be pursued in the department include:

1. Atomic and Molecular Physics (Experiment)
2. High Energy Physics (Theory)
3. Magnetism and Superconductivity (Experiment)
4. Nuclear Physics (Theory)
5. Plasma Physics (Experiment andTheory)
6. Quantum Optics (Theory)
