Physics

Department of Physics

Established in 1966

The department is one of the earliest departments established by the institution way back in 1966 offering the subject as an optional subject in B.Sc.

It has been recognized under star college scheme of DBT Govt. of India and also as the Center for Innovative Teaching by DST, Govt. of Karnataka.

Having spacious laboratory well equipped with quality instruments, the department is empowering students through effective teaching learning process imparting quality education which focuses on top class quality jobs.

Department Conducts technology driven student centric activities in practical classes through student presentations
Department Conducts Open ended experiments based on computer simulation

Department Organizes a unique programme called Lab in Cab (JNAANA VISTAR) where laboratory equipments are carried to rural schools for on the site demo and interaction to popularize basic sciences
