• For those wishing to study in the Physical Group, one must have passed with at least a Second Division in Physics and Mathematics subjects with 200/200 full marks each, or obtained a Final Grade C in both subjects. Must have passed other subjects with at least a GPA of 1.6.

(b) In the case of those who have studied A Level:

• For those wishing to study in the Physical Group, one must have passed with a Final Grade D (with or without a small letter) in both Physics and Mathematics subjects. Must have passed other subjects with at least Grade E.

(c) In the case of educational qualifications obtained from institutions or universities other than the Government of Nepal's National Examination Board, a document of equivalence obtained from the Curriculum Development Centre, Sanothimi, Bhaktapur, must be submitted.

Eligible students must apply online for the TU IOST entrance examination. You can find the TU B.Sc. entrance exam curriculum and details on Edusanjal. Only applicants who pass the entrance examination (by scoring at least 35%) are eligible for enrollment in the constituent and affiliated colleges of Tribhuvan University.

A Physics graduate has research strengths in many frontier areas including nanoscience, quantum information technology, optical and magnetic materials, and biophysics.
