Physics

About the Department:

The department of Physics was established in 1962 which is now one of the best well-equipped centers for undergraduate studies in this central part of India. The department aims to stimulate an interest in the social and economic implications of physics in society. It has three separate laboratories including a dark room, a workshop with more than 100 experimental set ups and advanced instrumentation facilities like X-ray diffraction, Impedance analyzer. Every year it caters around 300 UG students for regular curricular and co-curricular activities.

Highlights of the Department:

  • Well-equipped spacious laboratories with more than 100 experimental set ups, computers with internet facility and departmental library facility. 
  • Guidance center for physics competitive exams for the higher studies viz. JAM etc.
  • Active Astronomy Club.
  • Recognized center for National Graduate Physics Examination (NGPE).
  • Guidance center for active participation in various intercollegiate competitions.
  • Linkage for student Internship programme with recognized national research institutes.
  • Nanomaterials and instrumentation research division.

 Co-curricular programs of the department:

  • Counseling for future with Physics: 
Under this center, students get the information regarding the recent developments in the world of Physics. Students get the information of the career opportunities in Physics through this cell. Mentors: Prof. R.G. Jadhao, Dr. S.H. Bagade

  • Experiment Fabrication:
Under this unit, students are encouraged to design the new experiments for the curriculum. Students are facilitated all the requirements for the fabrication and designing of the experiments. Some skill-oriented training programmes viz. todu-jodu in which students utilize the parts of old faulty instruments to fabricate new is also practiced. Faculty Incharge: Dr. S. H. Bagade, Dr. M.M. Yerpude

  • Guidance Center for Physics Competitive Exam:
The department provides guidance and necessary e-contents for the preparation of Physics entrance exam for the higher studies viz. JAM (Physics) etc. for advanced learners for free of cost. This programme is practiced since June 2014 and many students have been benefited from this programme. Bajaj College of Science is the recognized center for the National graduate physics examinantion (NGPE) examination conducted by the national body Indian Association of Physics Teachers (IAPT) since last decade.

Faculty Co-ordinators: Dr. G.V. Lakhotiya, Dr. S.R. Tiple, Dr. M.M. Yerpude
  • Astro Club:
The Astro Club is an interdisciplinary hobby club started in 2017. It takes care of sky observations, regular events from the world of astronomy. It has a separate students’ cell that used to conduct regular seminars, workshops, guest lecturers etc. Students also conduct some skill oriented workshops to fabricate telescope under the expert guidance.

  • Educational Tours

Educational tours are planned every year to make students more curious about the recent development in the subject.

Overview of Course of B.Sc. with Physics Programme under Autonomy:

The course design ensures that the graduating students with Physics as one of the subject will have the academic standard pre-requisites to take post-graduation programme in Physics as well as in many allied fields in India and abroad. The multidisciplinary skills they will be acquiring will be of tremendous value to them especially if they choose to enter such cutting edge research areas; be it in Academia or in Industry. We believe that the graduates with physics will be a complete package to face any national competitive exams held for the graduates.

Syllabus contains the core branches including mechanics, oscillations and waves, thermodynamics, electrostatics, electricity and magnetism, electrodynamics, optics, atomic and molecular physics, statistical mechanics, solid state physics, quantum mechanics, electronics and solid state devices, nanophysics, astrophysics, relativity, nuclear physics. Along with the theory, skill oriented experiments including some innovative projects will prepare the students to orient themselves to bridge the gap between science and technology.
