Details
The aim of the Physics department established in 1887, is to prepare students for a future career in the subject of physics and its allied areas. Students graduating in the subject from Wilson College are well placed in academia and industry. Physics as a subject has been the cornerstone of an expanding body of knowledge in modern times, leading to a deep understanding of our physical universe and producing countless advances in technology. The applications of the subject and the ideas it throws up constantly have completely revolutionized the way we live and think. This requires any student in physics to have a good grounding in theoretical and experimental aspects of the subject. Students need to build skills required to deal with any challenges that the subject throws up. Keeping in mind the depth of the subject and the breadth of its applications, the department is experienced and well equipped to guide students in the study of physics and develop in them skills necessary to build a successful career.
