SIR CRR PG COLLEGE

ABOUT THE PG DEPARTMENT OF PHYSICS

The department of Physics established in 2003. The college is under the affiliation of Adikavi Nannaya University, Rajamahendravaram. The sanction intake of students is 30. Two years programme is spread over 4 semesters with 2 semesters in the 1st year and 2 in the 2nd year. There are 4 papers in each semester

At the end of each semester two practicals Electronics/ Communication Electronics and Modern Physics/ Solid State Physics and Viva-voce, comprehensive theory viva examinations are held. The department has qualified, experienced and dedicated 4 faculty members, in which 2 of them pursuing Ph.D. and one qualified in APSET. Science is one of the important subjects taught at the college right from its inception. The laboratories are developed in a planned manner in accordance with the ever growing need of the students.

As far as research is concerned, separate laboratories were established under the name ‘Material Science Lab’, all these efforts finally resulted in establishing The Central Research Laboratory, named after Dr. A. P. J. Abdul Kalam, the late president of India and renowned space scientist. Our laboratory has the facility to conduct analysis and having the equipment FTIR Spectrometer, UV-visible Spectrophotometer, Ultra Sonic Interferometer, Electronic Balance, Microwave Oven etc., which are useful for the Research activity, thus fulfilling the institutional social responsibility of the Institute

National seminar

Two day national seminar on “ENERGY AND ECOLOGY” ON 4TH&5THOCTOBER,2016 sposored by UGC and organised by department of physics, sir c r reddy autonomous college,eluru.All the sttaf members and students of department of PG physics were participated in this seminar.

Opportunities in physics

IN TELECOMMUNICATION In the present era of telecommunications revaluation, optoelectronics, microwaves and Radio Communication are all extremely important technologies.
IN MATERIALS SCIENCE Physics people can work electronics materials for on of the leading integrated circuit manufactures, semiconductor providers or electronics companies.
ENERGY AND ENVIRONMENT a. Several oil companies, including BP Amoco, Esso and shell, recruit science graduates to research posts and other opportunities. Increasingly these companies are seeking new innovations for suitable energy and utilizing the skills of the physicists. b. Physicists are employed by the radiological protection institute of Ireland to advise radiation levels in our homes.
IN MEDICAL PHYSICS The provision of radiotherapy services for cancer is currently undergoing a major national expansion and physicists are greatly in demand The manufacturer of medical equipment also provided employment opportunities for physics graduates/ postgraduates in design, development, and occasionally marketing and customer services.
IN TEACHING Teaching is a important and most promising field of employment for qualified physics graduates are in short supply in the teaching professions. This is rewarding job if you like communicating your science ay many different levels, enjoy being centre – stage, and can cope with plenty of administration. Employers include state schools, private schools, international schools and college further education.
IN BUSINESS & MARKETING Opportunities also abound to make a career as patent agent, a technical sales and marketing and host of other jobs where a board science education is essential.
IN DEFENSE The defense too is offering many job opportunities for the physics in the technical as well as logistics caders
IN INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY Jobs available in the IT sector include web-site manager and network manager.
IN FINANCE Many nationalized/ private/ multinational banks in the India are the major employers to appoint physics personal as far as finance industries are concerned. Many renowned chartered accountancy firms frequently recruit trainees who have qualifications in physics. Insurance companies and retail banks are also major recruiters in field.
COMPETITIVE EXAMS LIKE CSIR – UGC NET, GATE, JEST, IISC, TIFR, BARC, DRDO, ISRO, ONGC – GT, NTPC, HPCS, SLET etc. the fact is that the syllabus of all these examinations are nearly the same which make things quite prospective from preparations point of view.
ELIGIBILITY: Qualification : MSc Physics with 55% of CSIRNET MSc Physics with 50% for GATE Age Limit : JRF (NET) Max. 28 years Upper age limit may be relaxed up to five years in case of candidate belonging to SC/ST/OBC. For Lectureship (LS) : No upper age limit.
