Explore the world of Physics with our expert faculty, dedicated to understanding the fundamental principles of the universe
The Department of Physics was established in 2005, followed by the introduction of the Department of Electronics in 2008. Dedicated to fostering student interest and enhancing technical expertise, the department prepares students for successful placements across the educational, engineering, and industrial sectors. These goals are supported by well-equipped laboratories and modern workshops, alongside a dedicated team of faculty members: Dr. Aparna Singh (H.O.D.), Dr. Maimoona Yasmin, Dr. Reetika Singh, Mr. Abhishek Mishra, and Ms. Shikha Agarwal. Currently, the department offers undergraduate programs in B.Sc. Physics (150 seats) and B.Sc. Electronics (30 seats) for students who have completed 10+2 in the science stream. It also provides a specialised six-month certificate course in Robotics and AI. Expanding its curriculum, the department will launch a new Apprenticeship Embedded Degree Program (AEDP), B.Sc. in Digital Electronics, in July 2026. This initiative integrates academic learning with practical industry experience to meet modern skill development standards. Through consistent academic growth and strengthened teaching practices, the department remains committed to nurturing innovation and employability in the fields of physics and electronics.
