History of the Department
  • The DEPARTMENT OF PHYSICS was established in the year 1962 to offer Physics for the Pre University Course. In continuation, the Ancillary Physics course was introduced in the year 1963 to offer Physics for the UG Mathematics Program. The Major Physics course with allied courses Mathematics and Applied Electronics & Instrumentation was commenced in the year 1984 with 22 students. At present, there are seven faculty members, three laboratory assistants and the number of students in the Department is 132. It is worth mentioning that all the faculty members hold Ph.D. degree.
  • The Department has three spacious class rooms, two well-equipped laboratories and a dark room. Besides teaching, all the faculty members of the department involve themselves in research activities. Their fields of research include Nano technology, Quantum dots, Crystallography, Solar Thermal Technology, Thin films and Smart materials. As a consequence, they have published many research papers in reputed journals and also presented papers in National/ International Conferences. Four of our Staff members received funds from UGC for minor research projects and they were successfully carried out.
  • The departmental library is equipped with journals, books and e-books. The students are motivated, encouraged and assisted not only to acquire academic excellence and research attitude but also to have social participation. On the whole, the students enjoy the progressive developments in their academic, research and social domains.

  • The Department has conducted a good number of National/Regional Conferences funded by UGC & TNSCST and also a good number of guest lecture programs under Autonomy grant. Every year Alumnae day is also celebrated on the first Saturday of December.
  • Our Department is the pioneer in organizing “PHYSICA” Interdepartmental Science Competitions every year since 1998. In addition, to motivate our students and to provide opportunity to develop our students’ skill, an Interclub Activity is started from 2004 onwards. Students are divided into three clubs namely Dr. A.P. J. Abdul Kalam, Dr. S. Chandra Sekhar and Sir C.V. Raman.
  • "PHYSICS AKSHAY" is an Alumni Endowment fund initiated 20.09.2003 which offers financial support to the needy and the deserving students of Physics.
  • To develop leadership quality and to stimulate students’ skill, T.CHELLAPPA – PONNAMMAL Endowment cash award has been instituted by Mrs.K.Ponnammal, M. Sc, M.Phil, Former Head of the Department, for the two Best outgoing students.
  • The Department of Physics conducts ‘NATIONAL GRADUATE PHYSICS EXAMINATION’ (NGPE) organized by IAPT – Indian Association of Physics Teachers every year since 1998 as our College centre with code G – 6157 to improve the quality of the students.
  • In order to gain work experience, Internship/ Field Project is a part of our curriculum. II B.Sc. students have undertaken the activities in the reputed organizations like Materials Research Centre, Coimbatore, Bharat Sanchar Nigam Limited, NCL Tamil Nadu Power Limited, Tuticorin and V.S.V.N. Polytechnic College, Virudhunagar.
  • Completion of Courses under NPTEL Program Laws of Thermodynamics, Soft Skills, Enhancing Soft Skills and Personalityand Psychology.
