he Department of Physics was started in the year of 2000 in order to motivate the rural students to provide higher education in the field of science. It was first started with 17 students only, but the present strength is 523 students, 427 in UG, 71 in PG and 25 in M.Phil.
Our Department students have clinched 16 gold medals in 2003,2008,2009,2012,2013,2014,2015 and 2016 respectively in Periyar University Examinations.
We the Department have organized many scientific programmes, workshop and awareness camp for the welfare of young budding students. Few notable and our recent programmes are National Conference on Recent Advances in Physics 2012 from 20.07.2012 to 21.07.2012, International Conference on Recent Advances in Physics 2013 from 12.08.2013 to 13.08.2013, Science winter camp under the sponsorship of DST, New Delhi from 27.12.2012 to 31.12.2012, Creative Scientific Awareness Programme 2013 under the sponsorship of TNSCST, Chennai from 29.01.2013 to 31.01.2013 and Inspire Internship 2013 under the sponsorship of DST, New Delhi from 27.11.2013 to 01.12.2013,Scientific,academic lecturer workshop on recent trends in material science – 2&3-2015, Inspire Internship 2015 under the sponsorship of DST, New Delhi from 26.9.2015 to 30.9.2015 and Inspire Internship 2016 under the sponsorship of DST, New Delhi from 24.9.2016 to 28.9.2016.
