Department of Physics

Beginning of Department of Applied Physics may be traced to 1995 with the establishment of the Institute of Engineering & Technology (Faculty of Engg & Technology) and start of B.Tech courses in various branches. At that time, department was part of division of Basic Sciences and Humanities; teaching Physics course of B.Tech students. Department started a post graduate course in M.Sc. in Applied Physics in 2004 and acquired a full-fledged status of a University department. The department is unique in the entire Rohilkhand region in the sense that it provides M.Sc. degree with specialization in Material Science introducing students to the striking fields of Material Science i.e. characterization of materials, crystal growth, Advanced Solid State Physics and Nano-Technology. Department is in the process to develop some credible research centers in the fields of computational physics and material simulation, macromolecular physics and high energy physics.
