B.Sc Physics
DEPARTMENT OF PHYSICS
The Department of Physics was
established in the year 2020. The Department Offers an undergraduate program in
Physics. The Department has five high-quality faculty members actively engaged
in academics and research. The department organizes guest lectures, workshops,
and National and International level seminars to promote a scientific attitude
among the students which will motivate them to handle seminars and participate
in group discussions. Apart from academics, the department encourages students
to participate in curricular and co-curricular activities to bring out the best
in them.
The accomplished staff members of the
physics department have the distinction of being resourced persons, publishing
papers in high impact journals of national and international reputation and
presenting papers in emerging fields at both national and international levels.
Mission of the Department
Ø To
make Students excel in academic knowledge and problem-solving skills through lectures
and laboratory coursework.
Ø To
motivate and support students with Entrepreneurial skills.
Ø To
strive for academic excellence through the quest for wisdom.
