The Department of Physics was opened in the year 1963, since the inception of the college with Intermediate class. In the year 1965 B.Sc Physics in General Subjects was opened after obtaining affiliation from Utkal University. But in the year 1976 B.Sc in Honours subject with 16 seats was opened after getting affiliation from Berhampur University. The Department started with a Vision to spread Science at Higher Education level; particularly to the rural based students and bring them to the National Mainstream. At present the Department offers three years Bachelor’s Degree Course in Physics in Honours having 56 seats and Generic Elective for students of Physical Science Departments. The Department curricula have been designed congruent with the CBCS curriculum of U.G.C.
The Department made an outstanding contribution in bringing up the students for Higher Studies as well as for jobs when they go out successfully from this department.
The Department organizes Induction Meeting, Teacher’s day Celebration, Seminars, Field Studies, Observation of National Science Day, Extension Activities and Farewell Meeting. Every year, students of this department are selected for taking admission in Central Universities and Other reputed institutions for their higher studies. Many alumni of this department are working in higher positions of State and Central Government organisations. Some of our students are also faculty members in leading national-level institutions and laboratories. This Department is a vibrant place for academics.
Bachelor’s Degree (B.Sc.)
