The Department of Physics was established in the year 2015 with ten students and received permanent affiliation from Periyar University in the year 2023. Here, students are pedagogically trained to develop their knowledge, skills and understanding of the realistic world. We offer undergraduate programme B.Sc. Physics. We have a well-equipped laboratory where students perform measurements on the physical world, verify the fundamental ideas through the designing and constructing experiments, recognize the factors, solve the problems and manipulate new materials. The Department registered a good academic record in the university examination, placement and also in creating many entrepreneurs. Our highly qualified and dedicated faculty members bring a wealth of teaching experience and research expertise, ensuring an enriching learning environment. They actively mentor students, support their academic growth, and cultivate scientific curiosity through engaging teaching methods and practical learning experiences.
The aim of the Department is to enable overall development of the students by involving them in various academic and non-academic events like Seminars, Exhibitions, Workshops, Cultural Events and Guest Lectures. Apart from academic work, students are encouraged to involve in association activities which help the students to interact with scientists, engineers and technicians which expand their relations in scientific society.
Vision
To provide a transformative learning ambience with inclusion of all the weaker sections of the society to create leaders and innovators imbued with holistic values geared to generate knowledge of physics and create competency and skills to serve the globe
Mission
The Physics Department is committed:
To impart quality education in theoretical as well as experimental Physics with special emphasis on "learning by doing" for socio-economic growth.
To enhance experimental skills with well-equipped laboratory and individual apparatus.
Faculty members are assigned as mentors for individual students towards integral formation, assistance and guidance.
