Welcome Message

Welcome to the Department of Physics.

The Department of Physics, established in 2010, plays a crucial role in laying a strong scientific foundation for engineering education. The department is committed to academic excellence, outcome-based education, and continuous improvement in teaching–learning processes.
Our curriculum emphasizes conceptual understanding, experimental competence, and application-oriented learning to meet the requirements of modern engineering practices. The department is equipped with well-maintained laboratories and supported by qualified faculty members who actively engage in teaching, research, and professional development.
We focus on developing analytical thinking, problem-solving skills, and ethical values among students, preparing them for higher studies, research, and industry demands. The Department of Physics continuously strives to align with institutional vision and quality benchmarks as prescribed by NAAC and NBA.
We remain dedicated to nurturing competent engineers with a strong foundation in physics and a commitment to lifelong learning.

Laboratories

State-of-the-art laboratories equipped with modern instruments for hands-on learning.

Physics Laboratory

The Engineering Physics Laboratory is designed to provide undergraduate engineering students with hands-on experience in fundamental physics concepts that form the foundation of engineering and technological applications. The laboratory enables students to experimentally verify theoretical principles learned in the classroom and to develop practical skills in measurement, analysis, and interpretation of physical phenomena.
The laboratory is well equipped with modern instruments and experimental setups related to optics, semiconductor physics, electricity and magnetism, material properties, and wave phenomena. Students perform experiments such as determination of band gap energy, Hall effect, magnetic susceptibility, optical fiber studies, laser and diffraction experiments, and measurement of thermal properties of materials.
Emphasis is placed on accuracy, safety practices, data analysis, and error estimation. The laboratory also fosters problem-solving ability, teamwork, and scientific reporting skills. Through systematic experimentation, students gain confidence in handling precision instruments and develop an experimental approach essential for engineering practice and research.
The Engineering Physics Laboratory plays a crucial role in strengthening conceptual understanding and preparing students for advanced engineering studies, research activities, and industry-oriented applications.
