Program Learning Objectives (PLOs)

The Department of Physics is committed to impart quality education both in theoretical as well as experimental physics with special emphasis on ‘learning by doing’ to produce quality manpower for teaching and research. The objectives of the B.Sc. with Physics programme are:

  1. To impart quality education in physics to students through well designed courses 
  2. To enable the students to acquire deep knowledge in fundamental aspects of all branches of Physics.
  3. To be able to apply scientific and technical knowledge and skills to other disciplines and areas of study.
  4. To enhance their skills for continuous professional development in response to technological and social challenges.
  5. To inculcate scientific bent of mind and attitude relevant to science such as concern for efficiency, accuracy and precision, objectivity, integrity, enquiry, effective communication, ethical responsibilities.
  6. To motivate the students for a lifelong love of learning.

Program Outcomes

Upon completion of the B.Sc. with Physics programme.

PO1: Students will acquire substantial knowledge of different areas in physics, basic knowledge in mathematics with advanced knowledge in some specialized areas of physics.

PO2: Students will demonstrate knowledge of Classical Mechanics, Electromagnetism and Modern physics and be able to apply this knowledge to analyze a variety of physical phenomena.

PO3: Students will show that they have learned laboratory skills, enabling them to take measurements in a physics laboratory and analyze the measurements to draw valid conclusions.

PO4: Students will be capable of oral and written scientific communication and will prove that they can think critically and work independently. Impart skills required to gather information from resources and use them. 

PO5: Students will design and conduct an experiment (or series of experiments) demonstrating their understanding of the scientific method.

PO6: Students will demonstrate proficiency in the acquisition of data using a variety of laboratory instruments and in the analysis and interpretation of such data.
