Department of Physics
Fifty-six years of merit and excellence have rolled in the history of the Department of Physics which was started in the year 1963 with pre-university education. In 1978 B.Sc. – PCM combination was introduced. Mr. S. Vishwanath was responsible for the development of the department at the initial stages serving the department from 1967 till his superannuation in the year 2001. The staff members of the academic and non-academic cadre have always been the stronghold of the department who have played key roles in the outstanding performance in various field of activities. Self-financing combinations PME and PMCs were introduced in 1996.
