About the Department & Course

The Department of Physics highlights the vision of quality education in Physics and helps students understand the Physics principles behind the Engineering applications. We teach Applied Physics (both Theory and Practicals) to 4 engineering streams (EE, CS, ME and CV) students. The Department of Physics also has a well-equipped lab with dedicated and motivated faculty members. The Department of Physics came into existence in June 2007. The Department of Physics has been recognized as a Research Centre in the field of Nanomaterial studies, Radiation, and Ultrafine particles under VTU since 2011.
