Details of infrastructural facilities:

Library: We have established a departmental library where the complimentary copies provided by the different publishers, personal books, and publications of the faculties are kept for the use of the students and faculty members

Internet facilities for staff and students:

We have a dedicated internet facility in the labs and faculty room.

Classrooms with ICT facility:

  • One Computer Lab with 05 computers, 1 printers 
  • One Smart Classroom with state-of-art interactive panel
  • Internet facility

Laboratories:

  • The department consists of two separate laboratories for practical classes

Teaching methods adopted to improve student learning:

  • Smart classes using interactive panels
  • Traditional lecture method
  • Practical classes

Participation in Institutional Social Responsibility (ISR) and Extension activities:

The Students and the Faculty members regularly participate in the Institutional Social Responsibility and Extension activities organized by the college NSS and R&R Units.

Analysis of the department:


Strength: Student-teacher relations have always been the strength of our department. Students are always encouraged to ask questions, however unreasonable they may be, and teachers always try to give agreeable answers to them. Also, dedicated Faculty members, non-teaching Staff, moderately equipped laboratories, and intelligent and hard-working students are the strengths of the department.

Weakness: There is a need for more laboratory staff.

Opportunities: Students passing Physics go for higher studies in various universities.

Challenges: There is limited scope for innovation in curriculum design as the syllabus prescribed by the university is strictly followed. However, topics related to frontier areas of research are discussed through internal seminars. Non-flexibility of curriculum is also a challenge.
