DEPARTMENT OF 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
- To make Students excel in academic knowledge and problem-solving skills through lectures and laboratory coursework.
- To motivate and support students with Entrepreneurial skills.
- To strive for academic excellence through the quest for wisdom.
