The department of Physics has produced very good academic results under the efficient teaching and able guidance of the experienced and well qualified faculty members. The faculties regularly involve in research activities, publishes their works; and are very keen in engaging various extension activities/refresher courses as part of the faculty development. This is one among the rare departments in the state where all of the faculties are Ph.D. holders. The department also receives funds from UGC and KSCSTE under various schemes.
