Established in 1970 with 01 Reader and 01 Lecturer. Now 12 Sanctioned Faculty positions Department provide a creative and stimulation environment to future generations of Physicists. Department provides a full spectra of course coupled with mentoring and opportunities. Very few universities in our country offers M.Sc. Physics with Theoretical Physics, this Department is one of them and started M.Phil in 1973. Syllabus is designed as per UGC rules. Design, Built and Test type of experiments and project work is compulsory for all Specialisations. Each student avail capability to hands on training for their specialisation. Computer Software exercises Math Cad, C++, FORTRAN learning raise their soft skill capabilities. Department having good infrastructure and housed in new Science Building from 2016.Department is actively involve with Indian Physics Association (IPA) activities. Department organise popular talks on “Nobel Prize in Physics, Popularisation of Science and one lecture on Theoretical Physics. Actively engage with Indian Physics Teachers Association (IAPT) activities and NSEP and NGEP examinations.

Prof. Poria is Coordinator for the NET-SET Coaching Centre.

Research & Extension

Department is involved with research in the areas of Crystal Growth and their characterisations, Thin Film and Electronic devices, heavy ion, nucleon-nucleon interaction and theoretical condensed matter Physics. Seminar by Students, General Seminar by teacher and research students given the idea about the research specialisation available in the Department. Looking to the societal responsibility department under take research work on Scientific and Social Surveys on Diamond Industries in Surat as well as Reaction Kinetics of Kidney Stones, Growth Kinetics and drug implications on naturally grown and  surgically removed kidney stones. Department has avail SAP, DST, FIST First phase and PANDA Collaboration. Prof. Poria is activity engaged with Sophisticated Science Instrumentation Centre (SSIC), and Prof. Joshi is looking after University Science Instrumentation Centre (USIC).
