Department of Physics started in the year 1963. Right from the beginning our motto was not only to teach the subject Physics but also to educate people and develop scientific attitude among them. For example, we published a pamphlet regarding collapse of Skylab. We showed Haley’s comet to our students and the people in the rural area. This is the first college in this region to introduce different computer courses. Electronics was introduced for graduate classes in the Year 1986.Considering the need and necessities of the students we have introduced M.Sc. Applied Electronics in the year 1991. Our college was the first college in this region offering Applied Electronics at the post graduate level.

This department has collaboration with the Microwave Research Laboratory of Dr. Babasaheb Ambedkar Marathwada University, Aurangabad. To execute research activities, department has recognized as a research center in the subject Physics in the year 2005. For research activities in the subject Electronics department has collaboration with Department of Physics, Swami Ramanand Teerth Marathwda University, Nanded.
