Physics

The Department of Physics standsas one of the premier academic departments at Vallabh Government College,Mandi. It offers a Bachelor of Science (B.Sc.) program with Physics as a coresubject, with all courses affiliated to Sardar Patel University, Mandi (H.P.).The department has adopted the Choice Based Credit System (CBCS) for evaluatingB.Sc. students.

Over the years, the departmenthas consistently invested in nurturing and empowering students to achieve theiracademic aspirations. It emphasizes conceptual clarity in the evolvinglandscape of physics and encourages specialization in cutting-edge areas toprepare students for emerging opportunities.

The department is supported byfive full-time, highly qualified and committed faculty members. It houses twowell-equipped laboratories that cater to the practical needs of undergraduatestudents. Additionally, a dedicated computer lab enables students to explorecomputational simulations. These facilities are maintained by two attentive labattendants and one Senior Laboratory Assistant (SLA). The laboratories are furnished with essential and advanced instruments to support hands-on learnings in physics.
