The School of Science focuses on disciplinary plus a wide range of interdisciplinary courses to broaden students’ perspectives and knowledge in the Sciences. The high-quality programs are conducted by qualified teachers, along with guest faculty members from the industry, subject experts, and independent researchers. The school also collaborates with industry for research and development on real life projects, making students industry ready.
A robust placement assistance program bridges the gap between the student’s aspirations and industry expectations. Some of the leading companies in pharmaceuticals and clinical research employ students from School of Science at NUV.
The B.Sc. Physics (Honors) is a four-year undergraduate program designed to nurture students’ curiosity for strong conceptual foundations, advanced experimental skills and a research-oriented mindset. The program is carefully structured by placing Physics at the center with enhanced employability prospects and solid research capabilities. The coursework is thoughtfully designed and offers opportunities to specialize in cutting-edge areas like Quantum Technology.
Traditionally, undergraduate education in Physics has been predominantly theory-focused, offering limited routes for job readiness. The B.Sc. Physics (Honors) program at Navrachana University has been conceptualized to narrow this gap. The Program offers fundamental physics education to be evolved by skill-based courses, research exposure and industry practices, systematically connecting the foundations to the modern applied fields and remains aligned with emerging national priorities. The program aims to cultivate well-rounded Physics graduates ready to undertake diverse career paths and opportunities for higher education in premier academic institutions in India and abroad.
The B.Sc. Physics (Honors) program is spread over four-years integrating crucial areas such as core physics, mathematical physics, computational physics and data science, electronics and instrumentation, along with research training. Most theory courses are supported by tutorial sessions aimed at building problem-solving skills, as well as dedicated laboratory courses that provide hands-on understanding of theoretical concepts. Laboratory sessions foster collaborative learning, where students will be encouraged to assemble experimental setups, identify potential sources of error, evaluate them through measurements and plan for better experiments.
The program consists of a total of 176 credits distributed across eight semesters. This includes 15 credits under the University Foundation Program, while 26 credits (15%) are allocated to open electives available across the University’s five schools. Additionally, students engage in socially relevant projects through the KHOJ Winter School.
The first two semesters emphasize foundational subjects and are designed to build proficiency in computer programming and its utilization. Research skills are introduced from the second semester, with advanced coursework beginning from the third semester onwards. The curriculum also includes planned hands-on workshops and opportunities for institutional internships. In the final semester, students may choose between completing a thesis dissertation or undertaking on-the-job training (subject to available opportunities).
Students pursuing the B.Sc. Physics (Honors) program with a specialization in Quantum Technology will begin with some focused theory and laboratory courses from the fourth semester. The remaining curriculum remains consistent with the standard B.Sc. Physics (Honours) program.

Navrachana University, a premier university in Vadodara, known for its innovative and forward-looking approaches to education has now implemented a choice-based curriculum for its students. It is aimed at transforming the student learning experience, empowering them to “tailor-make” their own degree.
The need of the hour today is to create highly skilled professionals who possess a broad-based outlook enabling them to collaborate, understand and empathize with larger sociocultural realities.
Navrachana University offers its students’ the opportunity to pursue a Minor discipline along with their major degree program, following one’s interest, which facilitates the growth of additional skills. Minors are a means of diversifying the understanding of a topic and a reflection of who one is as an individual. For example, a student of Bachelor of Business Administration (BBA) can choose a minor in ‘Interior Design’.
To attain a Minor, the students will need to do 18 credit worth of courses designated to diversify interests and gain a professional edge!
List of Minors
Health Science | Computer Science & Engineering | Business Law | Interior Design | General Management | Mechatronics | Film Production
The Khoj program has been one of the defining social immersion activities at Navrachana University. Conceived right during the inception of the University, the Khoj program was envisaged to be a vehicle to inculcate social awareness, empathy, and interdisciplinary skills among our students, with a larger aim of proposing solutions to societal problems through innovation, it is through intense, rigorous, and field-based activities that students come up with an increased sense of empathy and awareness towards their surroundings. This program was further strengthened by engaging on topics that are relevant and can be made visible to society at large, the program is conceived as a larger and more ambitious activity that is undertaken by students and faculty members during the semester break under the umbrella of KHOJ WINTER SCHOOL.
Thematic Clusters:
Public Health & Hygiene | Mental Health | Environment & Sustainability | Waste Management | Urban Development | Economics & Social Issues.
Students will do one project in their fourth semester. The last semester they will work either towards a Thesis Dissertation or on-the-job training in Industries (subject to available opportunities).
Admission based on Merit:
Selection of the candidates for admission would be based on the following parameters:

Pre-teaching sessions, conducted at the beginning of every semester, serve as vital preparatory sessions aimed at providing students with foundational knowledge and essential skills necessary for success in their upcoming courses. These sessions typically encompass a variety of activities and discussions designed to orient students, set academic expectations, and foster a conducive learning environment.
Description of what pre-teaching sessions may entail:
A monthly course audit is a systematic review process conducted to assess the progress and effectiveness of ongoing courses.
Academic Advisory Board consists of Program matter experts who provide guidance, expertise, and innovative pedagogy and continuous improvement within the academic.
Student feedback serves as a valuable tool for assessing and improving the effectiveness of teaching and learning practices, fostering a culture of continuous improvement, and enhancing overall academic quality.
A mentorship program for students is designed to provide invaluable guidance, support, and opportunities for personal and professional development within the field.
Ratio of Mentor: Mentee is 1:15.
Academic Advisors play a crucial role in guiding students through the selection, planning, and completion of elective courses and minors within their academic programs.
