Physics
Physics spans a wide range ,from its theoretical and experimental foundation to cutting-edge developments in fundamental and industrial research. Physics ,the most fundamental of Sciences, interacts strongly with all other science subjects, making it particularly attractive to students who really want to know how the world works. The basic intention of an academic program in Physics is to develop the student's critical professional thinking and intuition .The curriculum must be structured to provide a balanced mixture of learning experiences to make the graduate capable of sound professional decisions. The mission of Department of Physics is to produce trained manpower for Colleges ,Universities, Electronic industry and national organizations of the country, namely PAEC, PINSTECH, KRL, PCSIR etc.
