PHYSICS

ABOUT DEPARTMENT

The Department of Physics was established in 1964. It runs undergraduate three years Bachelor of Science program in Physics and postgraduate Master of Science in Physics course. The department has 09 teaching staff and 14 non teaching staff. Around 600 students are enrolled in F.Y.B.Sc to M.Sc program.

The department is a part of prestigious DBT star college grant that college has received for nurturing the basic sciences culture and to reach to grass root of the education system-The students. Under this scheme, the department conducts various subject related events and workshops to inculcate various qualities like logical reasoning, experimental skills, scientific knowledge and research skills in students. In recognition of this work, the DBT has granted us the STAR status.

To succeed in any discipline, one needs to have broad based knowledge of science and a deep knowledge of specific research area. To cater these needs, Physics department started M.Sc. in 2016-17. It has two research laboratories recognised by Mumbai University where M. Sc. and Ph. D. students work under the able guidance of highly qualified and experienced teachers. The faculties are awarded minor and major research projects funded by UGC, CSIR, SERB, ISRO and Mumbai University.

Starting from the year 2018-19, the college has become autonomous allowing the department to experiment novel approaches to teaching and evaluation.

More about M. Sc. in Physics at RJC

With the autonomy, we have started conducting our M. Sc. lectures, with the help of distinguished visiting faculty, from 2018-19. More emphasis is given on problem solving. The students carry out their M. Sc. projects in various Institutes, like BARC, HBCSE, ICT, IIGM, IITB, SAMEER, TIFR, etc., in the city. In the year 2019-20, we plan to introduce new electives in Material Science and also restructure the courses to introduce a course on Computational Physics.
