Physics

  • Department of physics was established in the year 1998 with Dr. P.C.Mohapatra, Ex-Principal Ravenshaw College, Cuttack, (now Ravenshaw University) in charge from 01-11-1998 to 31-06-2004. The department provides teaching of Physics and Materials Science in undergraduate Engineering courses.
    A Center for Scientific and Industrial Research has been set up in the name of Dr. Patitapaban Mishra a well known physicist of the state.

    In the first phase research on study of properties of different liquids will be conducted by using Ultrasonic Interferometer and later different projects will be submitted to AICTE, DST, UGC, etc. to continue with further research work. Proposal to conduct Research on Experimental Plasma Physics is our future agenda.

    Laboratory has got Audio-Visual facility which is now helpful in teaching the students both theory and practical effectively and illustratively. Study materials on laboratory and theory are provided by the department for clear understanding of the subject.

    Besides teaching, the department is involved in organizing various co-curricular activities to improve the academic ability of student and guide them for pursuing higher studies in Engineering & Technology in consultation with Institute of Physics, Institute of Mineral and Material Technology and Utkal University.
