Mission: To impart quality education to the students and to let them feel that Physics is the father of all Science and Engineering.

The department was conceived in the year 1986 along with the inception of the Institute with an aim to provide scopes to build the foundation stones for higher studies in Engineering and other allied fields.

The department has laboratory equipped with modern experimental kits and computational facilities for general physics lab, modern physics lab and optics lab. The department has also set up an R&D lab with basic facilities for carrying out research activities in optical materials and devices. Major facilities in the departmental laboratory includes computerized double beam UV-VIS spectrophotometer, Hall effect measurement kit, composite piezo-electric oscillator, ultrasonic cleaner, kit for measuring band gap of a semiconductor using four probe method, triple distillation unit, experimental set up on photoconductivity etc. In the optics lab, facilities for live demonstration of geometrical optics and wave optics phenomenon are available. Rare facilities like Michelson interferometer, Laser optics lab with He-Ne laser system, Measurement of various parameters of optical fiber, Spectrometer with imported grating, Fresnel bi-prism, Nodal slide assembly etc. are available for use in regular class course work.

Faculty members of the department are actively engaged in research and project works.
