Department with best research in Gujarat state universities

Our department as the title suggests has some of the best research going on in gujarat. It comprises of modern bio-optics to theoretical particle physics and quantum chaos. Not all the professors are good but those who are make up for it. Nonetheless the faculty is quite helpful and student friendly.

In my opinion our curriculum was quite vibrant in terms of applied physics with focus on modern techniques such as bio-optics, fiber optics, thin films etc. It was a great course which got us ready for industry related jobs and also for the further research if desired. The exam structure was two mid-sems and an end semester exam. The best thing was there were viva conducted where we had to face the faculty and answer questions to them like in an interview. it made us ready to face interviews in real life.

There is a placement cell in our faculty but it is non existent in our department for some reasons. No internship is provided by our college. Though a professor provides summer internships via SRFP. The fellow is paid 10000 per month.

Three main tech fests are organised. 1. Prerna- it is Asia' largest Differently abled festival and gives them opportunity to participate in various events. 2. Paramarsh- organised by students of our faculty, it is a great tech fest which gives engineering students to participate in offbeat games and events. 3. Footprints- one of the biggest tech fests in India, It is extravaganza event held again by the students and celebrates engineering on a large scale with various events like related to engineering organised. All these events are 3 day events that also have various expert lectures and at last day there is a closing ceremony with a performance by renowned artists of India. So all in all fests are an integral part of our department/faculty

fee structure is quite feasible as it is a state govt sponsored department. I completed my post graduation with mere fees of Rs. 20,000. Considering the fees being taken in private colleges and the facility provided by our department, it is quite feasible.

For economically weak students, DSW scholarship is being given by our university. In this scholarship, based on interview you are given Scholarship based on economic condition based on your family background and merit.

There is a ground where we can play sports like cricket, volleyball, badminton etc. Equipments are provided by the University. Also there is a sports complex in our university where we can enrol among various sports offered. In our department, a student committee is formed comprising of 4 students and they would organise monthly expert lectures, lab visits to various labs of India and industrial visit to industries like Crompton Greaves. I was a part of this committee.

alumni network is quite helpful, but our seniors are not so helpful. Instead they would ask us for help in their matters where we would not be involved. We have an alumni portal where we regular job postings are posted and anyone interested can apply.

To be eligible to apply for this course, we have to have atleast 55% in B.Sc. After applying an entrance test is conducted. Based on its results and marks of your BSc, you are admitted based on merit generated.

The faculty is quite balanced. The faculty is research oriented. Of course, not all the faculty are research oriented but no department is perfect. I have met some of the best teachers in my life at this department.
