Department of Physics

Year of establishment - 1963

Teaching at the Graduate Level in the Physics Department commenced in 1963 to meet the aspirations of the physics students of this region, the Department was established to train the students desirous of learning, understanding, teaching and practicing various aspects of physics. Courses were designed to take care of both the classical and contemporary aspects of physics. What makes the physics experience at Govt Degree College Baramulla special, over and above the syllabus, are : the dedication of its teachers, the quality of its students, and the unique atmosphere of the college. At their best our teachers require their students to learn honestly, think independently, recognize quality, and develop the confidence to create rather than merely reproduce. At their best our students keep their teachers and one another on their feet. The quality of the students gives the teachers the freedom to go beyond the confines of the syllabus, whether in practical matters like computational physics and error analysis, growth of crystals or recondite matters like path integrals in quantum mechanics. Students do projects to explore areas off the charted path. Teachers and students alike work hard and think hard. And yet, there is an atmosphere of joyful camaraderie in the department. Though the pressure of tests and projects cannot be denied, it is not relentless : there is time enough for discussion and dreaming, for participation in extra-curricular activities, and for fun and fellowship. In keeping with College's tradition physics students get a lot of personal attention from teachers, an important source of encouragement and guidance.
