Department's Mission:

To create the facilities and learning environment in educational institutions to consolidate the knowledge acquired at +2 level, motivate students to develop a deep interest in Physics, and to gain a broad and balanced knowledge and understanding of physical concepts, principles and theories of Physics.
To provide opportunities to students to learn, design and perform experiments in lab, gain an understanding of laboratory methods, analysis of observational data and report writing, and acquire a deeper understanding of concepts, principles and theories learned in the classroom through laboratory demonstration, and 3 computational problems and modelling.
To develop the ability in students to apply the knowledge and skills they have acquired to get to the solutions of specific theoretical and applied problems in Physics.
to prepare students for pursuing the interdisciplinary and multidisciplinary higher education and/or research in interdisciplinary and multidisciplinary areas, as Physics is among the most important branches of science necessary for interdisciplinary and multidisciplinary research.
to prepare students for developing new industrial technologies and theoretical tools for applications in diverse branches of the economic life of the country, as Physics is one of the branches of science which contribute directly to technological development; and it has the most advanced theoretical structure to make quantitative assessments and predictions
to provide students with the knowledge and skill base that would enable them to undertake further studies in Physics and related areas, or in interdisciplinary/multidisciplinary areas, or join and be successful in diverse professional streams including entrepreneurship.

(c) Generic Elective Course (GEC): An elective course chosen generally from an unrelated discipline/subject, with an intention to seek a wide exposure is called a Generic Elective. A core course offered in a discipline/subject may be treated as an elective by other discipline/subject and vice versa and such electives may also be referred to as Generic Elective. Each of the GEC Courses shall contain two components: Theory and Practical/Tutorial. Theory Paper carry 4 credits, Practical carries 2 credits and Tutorial carries 1 credits.

III. Ability Enhancement Course: The Ability Enhancement Course may be of two kinds: Ability Enhancement Compulsory Course (AECC) and Skill Enhancement Course (SEC).

AECC course are the courses based upon the content that leads to knowledge enhancement: (i) Environmental Science and (ii) English/MIL Communication. These are mandatory for all disciplines.

SEC courses are value-based and/or skill-based and are aimed at providing hands-on-training, competencies, skills, etc. These may be chosen for a pool of courses designed to provide value-based and/or skill-based knowledge. Each of the AECC and SEC courses shall carry 4 Credits.

The syllabi and Course Structure of Elective Course (DSE, GEC), AECC and VAC is given in their respective Admission Form, respective Department and also available in the College Website as per the Manipur University NEP-2020 Ordinance for UG Programme as Approved by the Academic Council dated 14th June, 2022.

COURSE STRUCTURE OF UNDERGRADUATE (UG)
Course structure for 4-year undergraduate programmes

1.      CONTINUOUS INTERNAL EVALUATION (CIE) The students are continuously assessed and evaluated during the course of their studies by conducting class test and unit test. Besides the class test, at least two combined unit tests are conducted in every semester before the end semester examination. Other areas of internal evaluation which are looked into are- 1.        Students regularity/Attendance, 2.        Discipline and 3.        Participation and contribution in various Activities and programmes conducted by the concern department and the College.        Above all, follow up of all form of activities in action plan is documented and maintained by the concern department.
2.      CAPACITY BUILDING AND SKILL ENHANCEMENT With the students’ participant, capacity building activities like focus group meeting or group discussion and class room observation are performed to understand where we are what to achieve. To encourage policy dialogue, cooperation, networking and exchanges of practices among the students’ activity like seminar were conducted. Students enrolled in respective semester in the department are distributed among the faculty for mentorship. Capacity building as the process of developing and strengthening, confidence, skills knowledge and resources for both students and teachers help to grow and strive in a fast changing world. Skill enhancement class were conducted time to time to provide hands-on-training, competencies, skills etc.
3.      ACTIVITIES/PROJECTS & OTHERS For effective learning, department adopted various activities to energize students inside the class room. Students were motivated to involve in such activities to understand their learning level. Open-ended questions are posed after every lecture base on the day’s topic and ask students to come up with their best answer. Real-time reactions from the students are encouraged which help them to spot trends and consider new points of view. The evaluative technique like chain notes, brain writing, etc. are adopted to test the learner’s knowledge and stage of understanding. Sometime depending upon the topic students were asked to prepare concept mapping for their better comprehends on the issues they learned.             Besides, the students were enrolled in various cell and clubs and participated in outreach activities conduct by the NSS and various cell and clubs. There is no internships system in the college as a whole. As a projects, department organized field trip or study tour for the students taking them in a particular places or village for survey. Base on the data collected during the trip, students were asks to prepared survey report book to be submitted to the department. The report is made mandatory for every student. This provides changes for students to interact with the local or villagers from different work of life which give them hands on knowledge in real life learning. 4.
