The syllabus Drafting committee (Physics) comprises the following members.

1. Th. Jekendra Singh - Chairman

2. K. Yugindr.o Singh - Convenor

The Committee met on 12th, 15th and 19th May, 2010 at the Department of Physics, Manipur
Unive-rsity and framed a syllabus for [Link]. (physics). Four more teachers viz. O. Chaoba Devi
of Thoubal college, K. Keinahanbi Devi of Oriental College, M. Bidyasagar of G.P. Women's
College, and K. Biren Singh of Manipur College also attended the last meeting held on 19th
May. ln framing the syllabus the Committee took the following points into consideration.

1. Since the university is giving only an Honours degree, each paper in all the semesters
istreated as an Honours paper.
2. An attempt is made to provide broad perspectives of physics in the first four
semesters keeping in view the needs of those students who are majoring in subjects
other than physics,
3. The need for a inajor revision of the list of experiments prescribed forthe laboratory
classes is felt. Since this shall require a considerable exercise over a period of time,
no revision is undertaken.
4. An effort is made to prescribe master textbooks wherever possible.

After due deliberations and discussions, the Committee prepared a draft syllabus for the
8.5c. (physics) course. A copy of the syllabus along with a CD containing a pdt file is also
enclosed herewith.
