The department of physics originally started a three year B.Sc (Physics) Programme in 1994, M.Sc Programme in Physics was started in 2002. Later in 2006, M.Phil Physics was introduced. The Department of Physics has very good infrastructure in terms of library and laboratory facilities for conducting research and hence it has been the destination for many talented students and for doctoral studies. Recognition was offered by the Bharathidasan.

To impart Quality Education, Training and Research in physics to the contemporary scenario of Higher Education.

• To impart quality education both in theoretical and experimental physics through effective teaching learning process.
• To motivate students to pursue higher studies in physics which will improve their carrier forecasts.
• To support the developmental activities of the college by encouraging the students to participate both in co-curricular and extra-curricular events.
• To develop among students, sensitivity to contribute to the betterment of society through knowledge in Physics.

PROGRAMME OUTCOME

• Students are expected to acquire a core knowledge in physics, including the major premises of classical mechanics, quantum mechanics, electromagnetic theory , electronics, optics, special theory of relativity and modern physics
• Students are also expected to develop a written and oral communication skills in communicating physics-related topics.
• Learn to minimize contributing variables and recognize the limitations of equipment. Discover of physics concepts in other disciplines such as mathematics, computer science, engineering, and chemistry.
• Develop the following experimental tools: Numerically model simple physical systems using Euler’s method, curve fitting, and error analysis. Analyze physical problems and develop correct solutions using natural laws.

PROGRAMME SPECIFIC OUTCOME

• Students should learn how to design and conduct an experiment (or series of experiments) demonstrating their understanding of the scientific method and processes. Not only that they are expected to have an understanding of the analytical methods required to interpret and analyze results and draw conclusions as supported by their data.
• Students will develop the proficiency in the acquisition of data using a variety of laboratory instruments and in the analysis and interpretation of such data.
• Students will learn the applications of numerical techniques for modeling physical systems for which analytical methods are inappropriate or of limited utility.
• Students will realize and develop an understanding of the impact of physics and science on society.
• Apply conceptual understanding of the physics to general real-world situations.
• Describe the methodology of science and the relationship between observation and theory.
• Learn to minimize contributing variables and recognize the limitations of equipment.
• Discover of physics concepts in other disciplines such as mathematics, computer science, engineering, and chemistry.
• Develop the following experimental tools: Numerically model simple physical systems using Euler’s method, curve fitting, and error analysis.
• Analyze physical problems and develop correct solutions using natural laws.
