Department of Physics is well established department in JSSATE, Bangalore with state of art laboratory infrastructure and dedicated faculty and staff to fulfil dream of budding engineers. The department caters the intake of nearly 450 students in each semester. The department is focused to the holistic development of the students and encourages taking innovative assignment within the given time frame. This way student is mingled with peers and come out with solution of problems in unique way. The department also encourages faculty members to actively participate in research and development work by way of publication, presentation of their work in national and international conference and keep themselves updated.
The average teaching experience of faculty members is more than 15 years. In both theory and practical classes, students are given individual attention. Faculty members increase healthy interaction with students in both academic and personal matters, which leads to excellent academic performance of the students. The department has a well-equipped Physics Laboratory and very good infrastructure with a total plinth area of around 180 Sq. meters. The department also has established skill lab with an area of 100Sq.m, Department gives special focus to the topic related to respective engineering branch students while delivering the lecture and preparing lecture plan.
The department of Physics will shortly start PG programme in Medical Physics and Physics as an extension centre of JSS Science and Technological University, Mysuru. The Department is on way of developing advanced laboratory in the area of Nuclear Physics, Atomic Physics, Computational Physics and Electronics which will cater both UG and PG Students.
There is symbiotic relation between Applied Physics and Engineering. Broadly speaking Engineering is applied Physics. The department has been working towards fulfilling its mission through a synergistic combination of teaching and research. The department has been conducting science quiz and guest lectures by eminent academicians to kindle the interest of the students. One of the major objectives of the department is to nurture the student’s talent in the area of core and applied physics, and ignite enthusiasm, interest and passion in the study of physics in relation with the professional course as a part of the curriculum. Also, to promote the students in the field of inter-disciplinary research. As the Head of the Department, I encourage my faculty and colleagues to be regular, punctual and disciplined with the work. I personally ensure that all my colleague always maintain a good relation with students, and motivate them in their regular academic activities with more efficiency.
The Physics department has been recognized as VTU research centre. All faculty members are recognised supervisor of the university and perusing research work and guiding students in their field of specialization.
