Achievements of former students

Many students got admission for M.Sc in prestigious institution like IIT (Bombay,Madras),Hyderabad Central University, Pondichery Central University, CUSAT. More than ten students have completed their Ph.D and a few students are doing post doctoral research . Many students are doing research and post doctoral work abroad. Nearly fifty of our alumni are working as teachers in colleges and schools. In addition to scientific research and teaching, many are working in various nationalized banks and at different Government offices. A few are employed in private firms in India and abroad.

Facilities

Laboratory Facilities

Lab facility is unique. It is well equipped and spacious. For the last 15 years, each student does an experiment individually i.e. each student has an experimental set up. This enables him/her to understand clearly what he/she is doing and the related problems.

Library

The Department provides books and other reference materials to students. This helps them to prepare for PG entrance examination conducted at prestigious institution of higher studies like IIT,IISC, different central universities etc.
