The department offers M.Sc. programme in Physics and have admitted four and three students in the academic session 2017-18 and 2018-19 respectively. Presently, the department is involved in teaching of M.Sc. programme and UG courses of the other constituent colleges of the university.
The faculty of the department has published over seventy research papers in journals of National and International repute; and over two dozen of popular science articles in many news papers and magzines. Faculty members have been the recipient of many scholarships and awards. Further, the faculty has presented papers in conferences symposia and workshops held at various places. We have been on the board of Selection Committees, research paper editors, paper setters, paper evaluators and PG practical examiners for many Staff Selection Commission, Boards, etc. We have authored many books for under graduate classes of K.U.K., M.D.U. and other universities.

Awards and Recognitions
Dr. I. S. Sheoran was awarded Hari Om Ashram award for team research, Rafi Ahmed Kidwai award and NAAS Fellow : -
Infrastructural Development
- The department has a Botanical Garden spread over an area of 10.5 acres with rich biodiversity. The department has done pioneering work in conserving the indigenour local species of plant and also introduction of exotic specis (approximately 600) from other places. Various native and exotic trees, shurbs, herbs, climbers, aquatic plants, cacti and succulents have been collected and maintained for imparting knowledge to our students as well as related scientists. Flower shows are organized from time to time.
- The department has 9 screening houses near the college building.
- The department has developed 20 salinity micro plots to determine phyto-remediating potential of halophytic flora and 24 lysimeter have been installed in field to determine the transpirational potential of trees having importannce in bio-drainage.
- Experimental farms spread over 25 acres have been developed to evaluate bio-drainage potential of trees to improve waterlogged soils.
Package and Practices
system having Eucalyptus tereticornis as a strip plantation should be established on the water logged soils. In this model north to south field boundary is converted into 2.6 m wide and 45 cm high raised bund on which two rows of trees can be planted. The intervening space is left for the crops with minimum of shade effect due to the north-south direction of bunds� initiated by Drs. O.P. Toky, Rajiv Angrish and J.C. Kaushik included in the HAU Package of Practices.
