Research facilities determine the ways in which nature could be
understood. The Department of Physics has centralised
facilities laboratory to support a wide range of research
activities. Major facilities include TEM, FE-SEM, SEM-EDX,
60
XRD, AFM, FT-IR, PL, TLD Reader, OMA, Co irradiator and
HpGe Gamma spectrometer, TGA, DSC, DMA, UV-VIS-NIR
Spectrometer, Field Emission Auger Microprobe, Flame
Hydrolysis Deposition system, Mask Aligner, 1 m grazing
incidence Spectrometer, DC sputtering system etc.

DEGREE PROGRAM

Two programs at the Bachelor’s level, that is, the Bachelor of
Science in Physics and Bachelor of Science (Materials
Science).

Bachelor of Science in Physics Program consists of three
levels, namely Introductory, Intermediate and Advanced levels.
The program starts with introductory courses in Physics while
the Intermediate level builds strong fundamentals in Physics
through courses such as Mechanics, Quantum Mechanics,
Electromagnetism, Mathematical Methods, Statistical Physics,
Numerical and Computation Methods etc. In the Advanced
level, students choose at least nine elective courses from a total
of eighteen electives of specialised fields and carry-out a final
year project in any one of these fields. Industrial training is a
compulsory course.

Bachelor of Science (Materials Science) Program consists
of four levels. The first level gives emphasis on the basic
Physics necessary for further study of Materials Science. Level
two investigates material’s properties and material’s
characterization methods such as the Mechanical Properties of
Materials, Electrical Properties of Materials, Materials
Characterization and Magnetic Properties of Superconducting
