It is now widely believed that research should be an essential and integral part of undergraduate studies. In recent years there has been a conscious effort to bring research opportunities to the physics undergraduates in India. We argue that the need of the hour is a methodical evaluation of the existing undergraduate programmes for their effectiveness in preparing the students for a career in physics.

Abstract


It is now widely believed that research should be an essential and integral part of undergraduate studies. In recent years there has been a conscious effort to bring research opportunities to the physics undergraduates in India. We argue that the need of the hour is a methodical evaluation of the existing undergraduate programmes for their effectiveness in preparing the students for a career in physics.
