C. Catalog Description

Physics is the backbone of every engineering stream. It inherently investigates the subtle intricacies of of
nature and effectively explains various physical processes responsible for such intricacies. The Physics
curriculum provides direct coherence of concepts and applications which adhere to the need of
understanding engineering in a generic and dynamic manner. An introduction to optics subsequently
leads to the understanding of various aspects of LASERs, Holography, Fiber Optics communication
system and Optical instrumentation. These topics have revolutionized various technologies in a
tremendous fashion. An understanding of electromagnetic theory leads the conceptualization of signal
communication techniques and it also forms the basis of electric signal theory. In Faraday's law,
magnetic fields are associated with electromagnetic induction and magnetism, and Maxwell's
equations describe how electric and magnetic fields are generated and altered by each other and by
charges and currents. Quantum Mechanics describes the physical phenomena in which the wave and
particle aspects of matter and radiation are reconciled in a unified manner. The knowledge of the
Quantum Mechanics can be applied to the study of optical and electronic sensor as well as to the
behavior of the particle at microscopic and nano level. ​Quantum computing is the area of study
focused on developing computer technology based on the principles of quantum theory, which
explains the nature and behavior of energy and matter on the quantum (atomic and subatomic) level.

GUIDELINES

Cell Phones and other Electronic Communication Devices​: ​Cell phones and other electronic
communication devices (such as Blackberries/Laptops) are not permitted in classes during
Tests or the Mid/Final Examination. Such devices MUST be turned off in the class room.
  

E-Mail and online learning tool: Each student in the class should have an e-mail id and a
pass word to access the Black Board system regularly. Regularly, important information –
Date of conducting class tests, guest lectures, via online learning tool. The best way to arrange
meetings with us or ask specific questions is by email and prior appointment. All the
assignments should be submitted to the concern faculty. Various research papers/reference
material will be mailed/uploaded on online learning platform time to time.

Attendance: Students are required to have ​minimum attendance of 75% in each subject.
Students with less than said percentage shall ​NOT be allowed to appear in the end semester
examination.

Course outcome assessment: To assess the fulfilment of course outcomes two different
approaches have been decided. Degree of fulfillment of course outcomes will be assessed in
different ways through direct assessment and indirect assessment. In Direct Assessment, it is
measured through quizzes, tests, assignment, Mid-term and/or End-term examinations. It is
suggested that each examination is designed in such a way that it can address one or two
outcomes (depending upon the course completion). Indirect assessment is done through the
student survey which needs to be designed by the faculty (sample format is given below) and
it shall be conducted towards the end of course completion. The evaluation of the
achievement of the Course Outcomes shall be done by analyzing the inputs received through
Direct and Indirect Assessments and then corrective actions suggested for further
improvement.

Passing criterion:

• For UG-Students: ​Scoring less than 35 absolute marks in individual course either in
end semester examination or as composite score shall be awarded as ‘F’

• For PG-Students: ​Scoring less than 40 absolute marks in individual course either in
end semester examination or as composite score shall be awarded as ‘F’

• For UG & PG: ​Students scoring 85 marks and above as composite score
(IA+MS+ES) shall be awarded as the highest grade as ‘O’ i.e., Outstanding (on 10
point Scale) and ‘A’ i.e., Outstanding (on 4 point Scale)
