DEPARTMENT OF PHYSICS

The Department of Physics plays a vital role in imparting the incredible aspects of basic foundation principles in Science. The department comprises highly qualified staff members and is equipped with well-furnished laboratory. This department is committed to enrich and empower the staff and students by conducting productive and periodic workshops, seminars and conferences. The areas of research interest of the faculty members include Electron Para-magnetic Resonance (EPR), crystal physics, thermodynamic properties of amino acid studies by ultrasonic method. Students are trained in photography, videography, crystallography and multimedia presentation.


VISION

To encourage the inquisitiveness of the students and make them understand the fundamentals of technology, the department works with a synergic combination of teaching and research by promoting excellence in technical education and scientific research through the effective use of physics in real-time engineering problems.

MISSION

The mission of the department is to provide quality Scientific and Technical education, training, innovation and creativity in the areas of Pure and Applied Sciences. To feed the engineers with the finer aspects of science, to help them understand, innovate and thereby contributing to the uplift of the society.
