About the Department

The Department of Physics was established in 1993 as an Allied department catering to the Electronics & communication and Computer Science, and it became a major department in 2012, offering B.Sc. Physics with CA. In 2017, it was upgraded to a full-fledged B.Sc. Physics department.

The Department mainly focuses on the holistic development of students they are kindled in scientific temperament. Their passion towards physics is increased and they are encouraged to choose research as career. Good value systemsis imbibed into them to be successful in their life. Students are taught and trained to develop their both theoretical and practical skills. Based on their interest students are mentored by the faculty to pursue higher studies or seek job opportunities. The department also offer classes for JAM and JEST exams.

The Department encourages students to participate in various activities outside the classroom, such as organizing industrial visits. Students explore research opportunities, which lead them to pursue higher education in Physics. The department also stimulates the students to attend workshops and seminars which give them hands-on experience and allow them to explore career options, and develop their entrepreneurial skills.

The Department organizes numerous lectures on popular areas of Physics which provides a platform for the students to interact with eminent Resource Person globally. The department also has a well-equipped laboratory with good instrumentation facilities. The students are given several opportunities to realize their potential through inter-collegiate cultural programmes like the Physics Fest “‘SCIMERGE INTERGALA”. The focus is on exhibitions, paper presentations and lectures on current topics in Physics, which expose students to the various research avenues and current trends in the subject.The department also organizes Industrial visits to NATIONAL PRODUCTIVITY COUNCIL (NPC) and other renowned institutions.
