achieve this objective by imparting rigorous and quality education to our stellar students
and engaging our faculty and research groups in the cutting-edge fields of research.
The degree programs offered at the department have a balanced mix of theory and
practical work in the laboratories. Our excellent, highly qualified and trained faculty
teaches the theory courses. For practical work, the department has several laboratories
