About of the Department
The college is catering to the educational needs of young girls hailing from the lower strata of the society. The equality of educational for a favoured with excellence is being maintained throughout. Mostly the sanctioned strength is admitted in the course most of the students coming from rural background.The department of Physics was established in the year 1975 and P.U.C was introduced first. In 1979, Physics was introduced for B.Sc. Chemistry major and B.Sc. Mathematics major students as Allied subject. B.Sc., Physics major was started in the year 1993-1994 and M.Sc., Physics major was started in the year 2012-2015.Presently, the department offers PhD programmes aiming at invention based research outcomes. The latest research focused on the 6 specialization fields on Thin Film, Crystal Growth, Materials Science, Ultrasonics, Nano Materials, Spectroscopy and Physical Chemistry.
The department has very unique and well equipped individual Laboratories for first UG, PG and Allied students. A well equipped PG laboratory for General and Electronics experiments is the pride of the department. M.Sc. students are given hands-on training with advanced experiments (both General and Electronics), and they also do research projects as part of the curriculum. Department has an exclusive library for the faculties and students for immediate reference.
Innovative approaches on career oriented and advanced papers were introduced in the programmes to maintain academic standards. Science can be taught by conducting experiments. Teaching is usually defined as reaching the unknown students that is possible only by means of practical methods. We can prove scientific fact and the result through experiments only.The Physicist might work in a laboratory designing material for IC chips and computer chips. Ethics, Social Responsibility, Leadership and Entrepreneurial Skills Research Orientation and Internship and Employability Enhancement.
The department has motivated the students to participated Seminars, Short-Term courses, Webinars, Workshops to enrich students with potential talent. In addition, internship programmesis also mandatory as part of the curriculum. Physics department arranged every year a Subject Oriented Educational Field Trip, Induction Training, Demonstration cum Training Programme, National Science Day Celebration and Youth Forum,Hands on Practical, Science Motivation Programme, WEB-QUIZ, Online Test for Skills on General Knowledge, National Level E-QUIZ, Science Based Life programme were arranged for the students.
They are all aimed at important critical thinking and effective communication ability:
- To enable the students to take up challenging jobs in Physics research areas aimed at enhancing the employability potential of students
- The department offers value added certificate course (30 contact Hours) through the career such as Everyday Physics, Applications of Digital Multimeter, Electronics Instrumentation &Circuits. Ability to use modern instrumentation and laboratory techniques to design and perform experiments is highly desirable in almost all the fields of Physics.
- We are giving hand on training programme conducted for students and teachers.
