Physics

"I......a universe of atoms, an atom in the universe"

~ Richard P. Feynman

The birth of the Department of Physics was marked in the year 1969 when the college obtained its first affiliation for a degree course in Science from the University of Calcutta. The Honours course however started three decades later in the year 2000 with four full-time teachers and one part-time teacher for the electronics part along with one laboratory instructor. It has emerged in the last few years as a completely equipped Department providing numerous modern facilities to the students for their study. The staff and students cherish the same dream of shaping the Department into a potentially excellent centre for learning Physics.
