*IIT DELHI*
Phd interview
•Interview is purely based on msc specialisation subjects and elective /thesis.
Panel- prof from condense,solid, biophysics and photonics.
Round 1:
XRD at glancing angle. Why is it used?
Scattering factor
How do you determine the composition of a material?
What spectroscopy do you use?
What is structure factor?
Quantum Hall effect? Why do the values of B occur at which plateau and peaks occur?
What makes some material ferromagnetic? Why do domains form.
Variation of size of atom with Z
Round 2:
What's graphene oxide?
People say carriers move with velocity of light in graphene. Why?
What are modes in LASER

*IISC*
IPHD interview
*Interview is generalised with problem being asked to check Basic understanding and concepts
Panel- 4 professor
1)4x² y"-4x² y'+(1-2x) y = 0 solve this equation
(Hint: use series )
•what is the coefficient of the lowest power of x
•how many solution will be obtained
2)the most general form of Schrodinger Equation
• using Φ=Û(t) Ψ ,find the new Hamiltonian
3) experiments performed in ug
( Candidate replied -Calculation of g using simple pendulum)
•expression for time period of a simple pendulum
•error in measuring time if I know the error in measurement of length
•Tell me how do I measure the value of g in this room if you are given the length and the mass of the bob
•hang a pendulum , draw the trajectory of the bob on a horizontal plane

Hey Fellas,
I am going to start a series in which we will look at different institutions under GOI apart from iits and iisers which were dedicated to specific physics and specialised in only certain research domain.

**How to Email a Professor for PhD and MS Supervision**:
Email plays an essential role when it comes to approaching a professor for scholarships, funding and research supervision. Content of your email is the first impression which you will give to the professor that will describe you are a serious and well qualified applicant. So, what is the best way to write an email that can increase your chances of selection for the specific position in the professor lab or research group? Here are the guidelines about the structure and content of the email.
Your email should illustrate that you are a qualified and suitable person for the open position in professor lab. It should be short, clear and concise without repeating the whole details of your CV. Always make the first impression good by reading about the professor’s research projects and mentioning them in your email. Throughout your email keep in mind about grammar and punctuation.
1. Subject line:
Normally, professors are busy with their research work and supervision of their students. They can ignore your email. To avoid this problem, always include a strong, attractive and information based subject line for your email. The subject line will help the professor to guess about the contents of your email even before opening it. We recommend you to always use a clear and catchy subject line. For example, “Request for research supervision Fall 2019”,
“Request for PhD supervision”, “Request for MS supervision” or “Prospective PhD Student”.
2. Formal starting:
Your email should be formal and start with Dear Dr.__, Dear Prof.__ . Always use professional
greetings and avoid use of titles like Mr.__, Mrs.__ or Ms.__.
3. First paragraph:
The first paragraph should be about your short introduction stating about your name and where are you from. It should also address briefly about your qualifications and experience the professor is looking for the open position.
4. Second paragraph:
In the second paragraph, you can write about your previous research, work experience or other skills which are relevant to the professor’s research area. You can get information about current and previous research projects of professor after visiting the official website of the lab.
5. Third paragraph:
The third and last section is the concluding paragraph. Here you need to state your motivation and interests in professor’s lab or research group. You can mention the specific research areas of professors which fascinated your interests to apply in this lab. Then, you can particularly show your interest in a specific domain. End this paragraph with polite request to consider you for the open option.
6. End email with a formal acknowledgment
At the end of your email, you can mention that CV is attached with the email.Then, Regards.
