The Department of physics imparts quality teaching in physics for Honours students in the three year degree course as well as for the students opting for physics as Generic Elective subject. In addition, the department also imparts teaching in higher secondary classes (class XI & XII) . The laboratories of this department are well equipped and sophisticated where the students are trained rigorously on experimental methods which benefits them in understanding of underlying principles of physics involved with different experiments. The department is endowed with highly qualified and experienced faculty members (five in number) whose relentless efforts towards teaching coupled with different types of modern teaching aids such as ICT enabled innovative methods not only help the students grasp the basic principles of different topics of physics but also prepare them for academic excellence and enhances their professional and personal growth.
The department has three experienced supporting staff (one lab Assistant and two lab Attendants) who continue to render their service / duties sincerely for the benefit of students during laboratory sessions. The department follows the state model syllabus under Choice Based Credit system (CBCS) approved by department of Higher Education, Govt. of Odisha and Sambalpur University, which is the affiliating university of our institution.
Vision:
To establish a platform for students to achieve excellence in academic endeavour and make them intellectually vibrant and socially responsible citizens.
To provide inspiring, enriching and effective programs of study in Physics.
Mission:
To offer state of art academic curriculum in Physics.
To foster curiosity and excitement about physics, its scope and applications.

The department of Physics conducts various activities for all round development of the students in addition to the usual teaching and learning process. Departmental Seminars are organized on a regular basis in which the honours students participate in large numbers and the students assigned for seminar talk deliver their talks on the topics related to physics and interdisciplinary areas by means of power point presentation / LCD projector/ Whiteboards etc. At the end of the seminar talks, the usual question and answer session are held which undoubtedly increase the level of understanding of the students with regards to the topics of seminars. The seminars are well attended by the faculties of the department along with its supporting staff.
The department also undertakes study tour on a regular basis, but due to outbreak of COVID 19, study tour during the pandemic was hampered. The students along with some members of staff of the department had visited the physics department of central university of Rajasthan and Punjab University in the year 2019 while the students went on study tour to physics department of university of Hyderabad in the year 2018. Also experts from reputed institutes like NIT and different universities deliver talks on advanced topics on physics and its related areas, which are undoubtedly enriching experience for the students of our department.
The lab sessions are organized in the department on the basis of the timetable allotted to different groups on weekly basis .The students are trained rigorously on the experimental methods which enhances their expertise on experimental skills. The entire activities are scrutinized and monitored by the Head of the department on regular basis. A conducive atmosphere is created in the department where the faculties, the supporting staff as well as the students of the department work coherently as one family.
