The functioning of the department started in the year 1968 with two batches for Pre-degree first and second group. In the year 1968 subsidiary Physics started for the B. Sc Mathematics students.

B.Sc. Physics main course
The BSc degree course in Physics started in1980. About ninety students are now studying for B. Sc degree With Mathematics, Chemistry / statistics as subsidiaries.

M.Sc Course
The beginning of the M Sc course in physics in the year 1998-99 was a pioneering step in the history of the department.About 30 students are studying for M.Sc Degree this year.

Library
The purpose of higher education could not be achieved unless the pupils themselves endeavor to expand the horizons of their knowledge though self study. There is a separate section for books on physics in general library. It consists of about 2639 books and eight journals. Students are motivated by teachers to utilize these facilities to update their information in various subjects.
