About School

The department was established in 1957. The department has a long standing history of excellence in teaching and research. At present, the school offers Doctorate programme (PhD) , two years master degree course (M.Sc.) and three years under graduate course in Physics (B.Sc.). Choice Based Credit System (CBCS) syllabushave been implemented at UG level since academic session 2015-16, at P.G. level it was implemented from academic session 2018-19. Also syllabus for UG student as per New Education Policy has been framed and opened for the students taking admission from 2024-25 batch onwards. School of Physics also implemented the outcome based syllabus with incorporation of programme outcomes, programme specific outcomes and course outcomes with various level of cognitive learning. Since 2020, seven faculties (one Professor, two Associate Professors and four Assistant Professors) have joined the School. All the faculties have their Doctorates and Post-Doctoral experiencesfrom reputed premier institutes of India and abroad. Faculties are associated with research activities in the area like LASERS/optoelectronics, Theoretical Condensed Matter Physics, Cosmology (theory and data analysis), Polymer/FRP composites, industrial waste utilization, Nano materials, Piezoelectric materials, Photonics/Metamaterials, Solid State Physics (experimental). About 40 research paperswere published in Scopus/WoS reputed journals since 2020. The average number of citations of the papers published by all the faculties is 367.28 . At present, about 15 numbers of PhD scholars are continuing their doctorate programme. Two PhD scholars are being awarded with Biju Pattanaik research fellowship award. Out of twelve numbers of procured projects of total grant 45.34 Lakhs (5 as extra mural and 7 as university supported seed grant), three projects are completed successfully. The School facilitates some research labs on the basis of expertise gained by the faculties. Apart from regular academic activities, the school offers preparatory classes for national level competitive examinations like NET/GATE/JAM/JEST/CPET. Since 2020, about 30 students have qualified such competitive examinations and also continuing their higher academic studies in reputed institutes of National importance. School of Physics conducted eight numbers seminars with very good numbers of participations of delegates, research scholars and students across the country. All the students of the departments are also monitored through their respective mentors. The School also facilitates very good connectivity with alumni and parents of the UG/PG students.
