Institute of Physics, Sachivalaya Marg, Bhubaneshwar, 751005, India – The Institute of Physics in Bhubaneswar, India is a research institution that is funded jointly by the Department of Atomic Energy (DAE) and the government of Odisha. It was officially established in 1972 and began its academic activities in 1975 with two faculties and the director. From 1974 to 1981, the institute operated out of rented buildings before moving to its current campus in 1981. In 1985, the institute was taken over by the DAE. The predoctoral program at the institute provides a broad-based education in advanced physics and research methodology. Upon completion of the program, students are eligible to pursue a Ph.D. degree awarded by the Homi Bhabha National Institute of the DAE.
