About Department

The Department of Physics was established in the academic year 1995-96 with Mathematics and Chemistry as allied combination. Later the combination of Mathematics, Physics and Computer Science was sanctioned in the academic year 2001-02. The medium of instruction for Mathematics, Physics and Chemistry combination is Telugu while for Mathematics, Physics and Computer Science combination is English The intake capacity of the students for M.P.C is 30(Thirty) and intake capacity of the students for M.P.Cs is 30( Thirty).Every year ten extra seats were sanctioned for M.P.C and ten seats for M.P.Cs. From the academic year 2019-20 the intake capacity of the students for M.P.C is 50(Fifty) and intake capacity of the students for M.P.Cs is 50( Fifty).Three posts were sanctioned to Physics Department.

The department is conducting assignments, student seminars, quiz programs and internal examinations to assess the progress of the students. The Department is providing study material for better results and also conducting remedial coaching and for the slow learners.

The department encourages as well as guides the students to build up their career. Additional reading material is available in the department for the students preparing for entrance tests for Higher education.

We encourages the students to go library refer articles and journals related to Physics and competitive examinations.
