The Department of Physics was established in the year 1986 and has been consistently producing University Ranks from the very first batch of 1989. It is blessed with dedicated, devoted and committed faculty with rich experience. Students who have stepped out of our portals have pursued their research in the fields of Nuclear Physics, Biophysics and Material Science and are serving society.
The Bachelor of Science – Physics, undergraduate programme, at minimum requires the applicant to have obtained the pass percentage in Higher Secondary Level exam finals.
Objective
The Department aims to educate the students who are first generation learners and develop their total personality in a holistic way. It updates students with recent developments in Physics by organizing International/National Conferences, Seminars and Workshops. It aims to imbibe in students logical and numerical attributes which will make them think differently, communicate effectively and work in teams. Computing and practical skills are also fine tuned.
About Us
The Department of Physics was established in the year 1986 and has been consistently producing University Ranks from the very first batch of 1989. It is blessed with dedicated, devoted and committed faculty with rich experience. Students who have stepped out of our portals have pursued their research in the fields of Nuclear Physics, Biophysics and Material Science and are serving society. Some alumnae of the department are successful entrepreneurs, holding key posts in leading software industries, telecommunication, and banking sectors.
Through its association “Radiations”, workshops and lectures on recent topics by eminent personalities are arranged frequently. Exhibitions, intercollegiate competitions, inter and intra departmental competitions are conducted to bring out the talents of students in the broad spectrum of Physics. Students are encouraged to present papers on the latest developments in science.
