Introduction
The main goal of the physics department is to offer quality education to undergraduates and provide them with a holistic approach to the physical principles of the universe.
Furthermore, it aims to enable them to think creatively and critically about scientific
problems and experiments. This, in turn, can them develop quantitative reasoning skills and
conduct training sessions for students' planning careers in physics. It includes those whose
interests lie in college/university teaching, industrial jobs or other sectors of human society.
Unprecedented developments in all the areas of science and technology are based on the
understanding of the physical laws of nature. Physics plays a very important role in recent technological advancement in industry and other social sectors. This can lead to light the
intrinsic motivation in exploring the hidden mysteries in nature and find their solutions
Keeping in view the importance of Physics, the QUEST is going to begin a Bachelor of Science
(BS) program in Physics from batch 2021. The department offers a four-year (8 semesters)
undergraduate program for the degree of BS (Physics). This program includes foundational
courses such as Mechanics, Electricity and Magnetism, Waves and Oscillations, Modern
Physics, Optics, etc. The major courses included are Classical Mechanics, Electrodynamics-I
and II, Quantum Mechanics-I and II, Atomic and Molecular Physics, Solid State Physics-I and
II, Nuclear Physics, Introduction to Relativity. In addition, the students will have access to
laboratories where they can perform experiments as a compulsory part of their course
structure. The laboratory work provides the climax experience to the core courses,
gathering the knowledge acquired in different theoretical courses and bridging the gap
between theoretical knowledge taught in textbooks problems and the experimental
foundations of this knowledge
Vision
The Department of Physics aspires to establish a global center of excellence in Physics
research and building a knowledge society
Mission
The mission of the B.S. program in Physics is to impart outstanding physics knowledge and
prepare students for professional careers in Physics and pursuing advanced degrees in
physics.
Program Educational Objectives
The main educational objectives of BS (4-year) degree program are:
-To impart students with a conceptual understanding of the fundamental principles
of physics, natural laws and their interpretation as well as mathematical formulation
of the physical phenomena in nature.
-To develop critical skills necessary for solving unknown problems from our physical
surroundings.
-To enhance students' competence in the design and conduct of experiments and
presentation of experimental data and results.
-To develop a grasp of the scientific method, i.e., understanding how observation,
experiment and theory work together to achieve an understanding of the physical
world
-To introduce to students the spirit of working in interactive groups with the
necessities of scientific and professional ethics
-To equip students with the necessary skill set for pursuing careers in physics
education, research and industry in government or private organizations.
