Physics and Electronics
Welcome to the Department of Physics and Electronics
B.Sc. degree course with Physics, Chemistry & Mathematics was started in 1928, under the leadership of Prof. U.D. Mukherjee as first Head of Department. Thereafter, P.G. course in Physics was started in 1954; and B.Sc. with Electronics was started in 1984. From the inception the department imparted knowledge to several students who became renowned scientist, academician, politician, public servants from tehsildar to secretary. Prof. S. P. Yawale is carrying forward the legacy of the department, with support from the well qualified teaching and non-teaching staff. Most of the faculties in the department are Ph.D. holders and actively take up research as an opportunity. As a result there are more than 250 publications in peer reviewed, high impact journal of repute. The ex-research scholars after completing their Ph.D. from the department are acting as a torch bearer to spread light of knowledge to the society. Department has an excellent avenues open for research activity. Till date total 70 candidates have been awarded Ph.D. degree and more than 50 students completed M.Phil. course. The department is equipped with state of the art instruments, such as FTIR, XRD,UV-VIS-NIR spectrophotometer, LCR measurement setup, Spray pyrolysis setup, four probe setup, distilled water plant, and gas sensing unit to carry out research and to train students. This is achieved from several research and government funding to the department. As a result, 8 minor and 1 major research projects have been completed in the department. The department has consistent record of securing meritorious positions in U.G. and P.G. examinations of R.T.M. Nagpur as well as S.G.B. Amravati Universities. Till date 30 students have successfully cleared CSIR-JRF NET/SET Examinations. At PG level specialization in condensed matter and electronics are available. Research facilities in diversified fields like conducting polymers, gas sensors, glasses, instrumentation, polymer electrets, thin films, nano-materials, ultrasonics and microwaves are available. Departmental library with reference section for PG and research students is available. Physics Society is an active platform for all-round development of UG and PG students. Department is also engaged in the extension activity through Physics society. One day workshop for IXth class students on “Cultivation of Interest in Basic Sciences” was organized. Tree plantation is the regular activity. Department shared academic and research enhancement and provides laboratory facilities and expertise of the department to the research students within state and outside the state. To exchange the knowledge department has signed MOU with NES Science College, Nanded. The department has entered into Memorandums of Understanding (MoU) with Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO) aimed at facilitating a mutually beneficial exchange of students, faculty, knowledge, resources and ideas.|
