About Us

Established in 1967 as part of the Regional Engineering College, NIT Silchar’s Department of Physics has remained a cornerstone of the institute’s academic landscape. Offering postgraduate (M.Sc.) and doctoral (Ph.D.) programs, alongside foundational courses for B.Tech. 1st year students, the department is committed to delivering quality education and fostering cutting-edge research across various branches of physics. Led by a team of highly qualified and experienced faculty members, the department covers a wide array of research areas, including Theoretical and Experimental Condensed Matter Physics, Theoretical Nuclear and Particle Physics, Photonics and Optoelectronics, High Energy Physics, and Nanoscience and Nanotechnology.

Our Vision

The vision of the Department of Physics, National Institute of Technology Silchar is as follows: Our vision is to be a model of excellence in multidisciplinary branches of science and research by producing world class graduates prepared for lifelong engagements in the rapidly changing field of science and related field.Our Department should be remembered in providing excellent Mathematical skills to its UG, PG and Ph. D. students.Department is to create a platform for encouraging outcome based research environment.

Our mission is to impart quality education to students and provide a comprehensive understanding of Physics, built upon basic fundamental of science and technology and to provide quality manpower to meet the future challenges.To provide in significant research.To attend the mathematical needs of the institute and the community.To provide students (UG/PG) with a wide spectrum of valuable courses with rigorous training/tutorials that enables them to pursue their future.

Our Mission

Academics & Program

DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY

The department of physics at National Institute of Technology Silchar offers a doctorate program both in experimental as well as theoretical physics. Students in this program are trained through rigorous course work covering basic as well as advanced level courses before starting their research work. The major research areas in the department are Condensed Matter Physics (Theory and Experiment) and High Energy Physics (Theory and Phenomenology). At present, the strength of research scholars is about 16 who are working under the supervision of 10 faculty members of the department. The admission advertisement usually appears twice in a year, in April/May and September/October of each year in newspapers as well as institute web page. The selection test is usually held in July/December every year followed by an interview.
