      DEPARTMENT OF PHYSICS  PROFILE  DOCUMENT

       

      Vision:

      • To be a competent physics department, which addresses global challenges.

      Mission:

      • Providing student centered learning environment.
      • Infusing “we can do it” & “let us do it” culture in students.
      • Sms, e-mail and net surfing by all students.
      • Including innovative/creative attitudes in students.
      • The department of physics encourages the students to understand the physics principles in nature and use them in daily activities to lead comfortable life.
      • To develop research attitude in students by involving them in study projects
      • The curriculum of B.Sc Physics offers students the opportunity to acquire a deep insight into conceptual knowledge of fundamental physics.
      • The department consists of highly qualified and devoted faculty members who contribute towards academic growth and holistic development of the students.
      • The department provides a platform to the students to go beyond academics and explore new horizons. We also conduct talks by eminent physicists from diverse fields which inspire and motivate young minds.

       

      Brief history of the department:

      In the year 1973 this college has emerged with B.A and B.Sc undergraduate course. After 25 years i.e., in 1998 B.Sc MPC and MPCs courses were started with the appointment of only one lecturer in Physics  Sri. A. Ramabramhachary with an initial strength of 100 students. Another four lecturers were  appointed later on. Students were taken to nearby S.R.R Govt. Degree College for physics practicals as labs were not established. In 1999 the physics lab was established and inaugurated by the vice-chancellor, Kakatiya University. After that UGC sanctioned three lakh rupees for the development of physics labs. In 2004, the college administration has changed the location of the established physics laboratories first from Chaitanya Bharathi Auditorium to Room no.20 and 21 in the main building in 2004 just before the first NAAC visit. Later third lab was constructed beside lab1 and lab2 with UGC funding. Again in 2010 the three labs were well established in new building. In 2011 and 2017 there was NAAC visit. Now the total strength has gone up to 344.

      1.  Changes made in the program during the past two years and the contribution of the faculty to those change.

                                  As S.U has started the semester pattern based on choice based credit system (CBSC) introduced by CCE. As S.U syllabus has changed during the academic year 2019-2020 Physics syllabus has changed during the three academic years consisting of 6 semesters with 6 papers (I, II, III, IV, V, VI) in VI SEM there is a choice for project works as 1 paper and there are 4 SEC (skill enhancement courses) and in V semester 1 GE (Generic elective) VI semester NANO Science course in live projects syllabus was introduced in S.U and intimated to faculty members in the Physics department.

      1. Does the department mentor overall performance of the students through regular assessments?

      Ans:       YES

      1.  Is there a method of assessing the students’ academic standing in order to provide enrichment and remedial courses?

                  The department assesses the students by analyzing the entry level of performance. The department conducts slip tests after giving the assignments of each unit. Their performance is again assessed by getting marks.

                 Remedial couching is given to those who need by providing study material, previous question papers for preparing final exams.

                 Those who performed “O” for them have given the students study projects.

      Those who scored less than 40 %( failed students) according syllabus is taught by planning to need the academic requirements.

      The syllabus is sub-divided into topics theory and applications and study material is prepared by staff to suit the needs of all the three categories of the students. Additional curriculum is given for top categories students like student study projects, Jignasa study projects, P.G couching, study material is given to two other categories for their further improvements in the performance at final exams.

       

      The college conducts internal exams twice for every semester; the marks are recorded in the marks register.

      1.  How do the teachers update themselves for discharging their teaching /research responsibilities give details?

      Updating teaching and learning through computer facility surfing the net based text books reference books material prepared by teachers through interaction discussion, attending the workshops seminars and webinars.
