About the Department
An ensemble of hard working students who are sensitized towards research in Physics.
To encourage the students to use their knowledge and skills for the development of society.
Mould the students to be experts in Physics.
- To promote awareness on different forms of energy and its contribution to human life.
- To identify the correct experimental procedure to measure specific physical principles.
- To provide need based Physics related course to improve extra skills.
- To update the knowledge of staff and students by maximum usage of library and internet.
- To inculcate scientific attitude through experiments and industrial collaborations to acquire more practical knowledge.
- To initiate useful researches to provide exposure on current trends in Physics.

The Department of Physics at Malankara Catholic College was established in the year 1998 with an undergraduate program, followed by the postgraduate program in 2008 and the M.Phil. program in 2010. Many of our former alumni who have taken the Honors course in Physics have subsequently become research scholars and achieved success. They now hold respected positions in various parts of India and abroad.
The department has separate, wellβmaintained laboratories for undergraduate and postgraduate students.
- General Physics Lab β For mechanics, heat, and sound experiments.
- Electronics Lab β Basic electronic circuits, digital electronics, and microprocessors.
- Optics Lab β Experiments on light, lasers, and fiber optics.
- Computational Physics Lab β Computers with scientific software for simulation and data analysis.
The department is served by a team of qualified and experienced faculty members, assisted by laboratory technicians. Faculty members guide students in coursework, projects, and basic research activities. Regular staff meetings and student feedback mechanisms ensure smooth academic delivery.
- Physics Association (MACPHA) β Organises student seminars, quiz competitions, and science model exhibitions.
- Remedial & Bridge Courses β Additional coaching for students who need support in core subjects and competitive exam preparation.
- Industrial Visits β Occasional visits to nearby research centres and industries to provide practical exposure.
- Career Guidance Cell β Advises students on higher education opportunities and employment prospects in physics and related fields.
Students are encouraged to participate in intercollegiate events and present papers at academic meets.
Choice Based Credit System (CBCSS) with elective courses, project work, and practical training.
