About the department of physics

Welcome to Department of Physics

In the present scenario when the students are gyrating towards professional job oriented courses, the Department of Physics is working actively to attract young minds towards Physics that is research and career oriented. The department offers a dynamic mixture of pure and applied Physics with research orientation at UG and PG level. Established in 1996, with the aim to cater laser and optics industry; Master’s program in Physics was started with thrust areas in Laser Technology, Fiber Optics & Optical Communications and Materials Science. At present the department is offering Dual Degree B.Sc. (Hons.) Physics-M.Sc. (Physics) (3+2 Years) as well as post graduate M.Sc. (Physics) (2 Years) courses with specializations in Condensed Matter Physics, Photonics, Materials Science and Nuclear Physics. The department has adopted UGC Model Curriculum and the courses are innovatively designed and structured in a manner to provide basic knowledge in Physics and offer options of specialization The group discussion, seminars and minor /major research projects are integral components of these courses to enhance depth knowledge of the subject. Most of the current fields are covered by dedicated and dynamic faculty, viz. Photonics, Optical communication, Laser physics, Non-linear optics, Physics of nano-materials, Thin films , Glass and ceramics, Solar cell and renewable energy, Radiation physics, Nuclear physics and Theoretical physics etc. Apart from course curriculum, the extension/special lectures, workshops, interaction with industry persons and academic visits of the students are other important activities of the department to strengthen students’ knowledge. The dynamic and vibrant ambiance of the department is further enriched by round the year activities of Physics Association of the department. Presently housed in a new four storey building, the department has good infrastructure with well-furnished laboratories for under-graduate, post-graduate and Ph.D. students. The department has received major research grants under UGC-SAP, DST-FIST and DRDO schemes etc.

Vision
To inspire the young students towards understanding and learning the fundamental concepts of Physics and their applications for the development of new technologies in the national interests.

Mission
The mission of the Department of Physics is to provide strong qualitative and quantitative knowledge along with developing a problem-solving aptitude among the students that may open up a wide range of career choices to them. This also includes continuous refinement of quality research, development of frequently updated research-based innovative curricula and techniques to impart greater visibility to the learner and global recognition of the department.
The department strives to achieve its mission by executing novel research ideas with an emphasis on interdisciplinary and applied research. The faculty members promote the highest ethical principles in scientific research and are open to scientific and technological changes.
