Overview
Physics department was established in the year 1969 with a combination of (Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics).
The department offered new combinations like Physics, Mathematics, and Electronics (PME) in the year 1986, and Physics, Mathematics, computer science (PMC) in the year 1989.NEP was implemented in the year 2021 with 3 combinations of Physics mathematics, Physics Chemistry and Physics computer science. Presently Physics Mathematics combination is being offered from 2022-23. Eminent and dedicated teachers constantly motivate and guide the students to face the challenges in life confidently.
Vision
Life oriented education that empowers women with scientific temper, analytical thinking, logical reasoning and application oriented study, to be the architect of transformation and development at different levels of life.
Mission
- Promote a value based science education and contribute to the scientific work force of the country.
- Generate interest and passion for the subject and create an environment that is conducive to learning.
