Department of Physics

The Department of Physics strives to uphold the motto of the institution – ‘Fide et Labore’, meaning ‘Faith and Toil’, and its vision – ‘Forming Men and Women for Others’. Working in accordance with the values and objectives of Jesuits remains its core principle.

Infrastructure and facilities: The department functions with ease in suitably built classrooms, incorporated with chalkboard and smart board facilities. Multimedia presentations and live demonstrations augment the lecture method of teaching, and create an interactive environment. Learning the subject through experiments enhances its understanding. Regular experiments and demonstrations provide hands-on experience to the students. This is achieved in our well equipped laboratories. The department houses two laboratories, one each for I PUC and II PUC.

Department Activities
The Science and Mathematics Club hosts Physics - related events every year. Students and staff members have made educational visits to Visvesvaraya Industrial and Technological Museum, Bengaluru, Jawaharlal Nehru Planetarium, Bengaluru and ISRO (Indian Space Research Organisation), in the recent years. Resource persons have been invited to present talks, related to the syllabus, as well as beyond. Students are encouraged to participate in intercollegiate and intramural science competitions and workshops. The academic year 2024-2025 saw some interesting activities for both students and staff members. The Science and Mathematics club conducted an interactive session with Ms Lakshmi B R, Senior Scientific Officer at Jawaharlal Nehru Planetarium, Bengaluru.

Career opportunities: Research and Academia, Engineering and Technology, Communication and Education, Data Science and Finance, Environmental and Energy sectors, Medicine and Healthcare, Government and Policy making

Message from the DEPARTMENT: Education, as we observe around us, is not quite adequate for students with different strengths. It is increasingly focused on rote learning and is reduced to a job - oriented exercise. While that approach might satisfy the immediate needs of some students, it mostly lacks the capacity to build individuals with interests and independent thinking. Our aim should be to utilize the academic content to help students think, learn to be responsible, and learn from their achievements and shortcomings. Students graduating from the portals of our institution should venture out with more confidence and clarity of thought.
