Physics

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.
