This is one of our institution’s oldest programmes in pure sciences and these subjects are considered the foundational pillars of science. They are interconnected and the principles of one often find applications in the other. Along with physics, chemistry is the mother of many contemporary applications of science. For physicists, maths is a tool used to answer questions. For mathematicians, physics can be a source of inspiration, with theoretical concepts such as general relativity and quantum theory providing an impetus for mathematicians to develop new tools.
Students of undergraduate programmes except B.Voc. must study two languages, out of which one shall be English and the other shall be either an Indian Language or a Foreign language other than English.
