About the Department

The department of Physics of JIS University always gives priority to provide quality teaching along with state of the art research facilities to ensure proper learning and encouraging innovative ideas in Physics and allied areas. The core elective and open elective courses are designed for more specialized and/or interdisciplinary content to equip students with a broader knowledge base. The diverse qualifications of the faculty members ensure expertise in all aspects of Physics as well as in various interdisciplinary areas. Departmental laboratories are planned to equip further with sophisticated instruments. Aware of the wide- ranging needs of the diverse student groups, the Department offers intensive tutorials (on theory and laboratory classes alike) and individual care to enhance their academic level. Project work and seminar presentation are introduced in all courses to get an overview of the on-going research and recent development in the subject. We plan to identify and attract the most promising students to form a dynamic and diverse community, and to shape them into visionary scholars, innovative educators, and creative leaders. The students are groomed in order to become competent enough to face the global challenges from academic fields as well as from different sectors. The objective of the department is to recognize as delivering world class facilities that support outstanding research, teaching and learning. Moreover the M.Sc. course is to lay a solid foundation for further extending the Ph.D work in the concerned field.

Vision

Employment ability Skill Development Program

In the current scenario excellence alone is not sufficient to succeed in one’s professional career. JIS University therefore, extends all possible support to its students to acquire confidence, leadership skill, managerial skill, communication skill etc through comprehensive training and development program. JIS University organized an exhibition on the Innovation and Entrepreneurial Development of the students: SkillX Autumn 2015 & SkillX Spring 2016, where students of the JIS University represents their innovative projects. Management & Industry experts, career counselors and other professional lend their valuable advice to the students to choose the track best suited for each individuals.

Physics as a major at undergraduate and postgraduate level can help students get jobs offered by UPSC, PSC and alike. They can also appear for NET/GATE/SET and become eligible for teaching posts or opt for a research career at various renowned national laboratories like IISERs, IISc, IITs, CSIRs, IACS, BARC, DRDO, NTPC etc. Interested students may go to foreign universities for their research career or various jobs related to Physics. Students may also get absorbed in various petrochemical industries like ONGC, IOCL, BPCL, etc. as well as in various pharmaceutical companies. Physicists can also opt for careers as Artificial intelligence developer, astronaut, biophysicist, climatologist, nanophysicists, radiologists, software engineers as well as they can opt for analyst in finance and economy.
