Departmental Activities (Academic Year: 2019-20)

Know Your Lab

Department of Physics started to conduct

“Know Your Laboratory” from the

year 2016-17. It was observed that 12th

about laboratory and handling of

instruments. So in order to get them

familiar with laboratory we started this

activity. We conducted this activity on

12/07/2019 at Physics Laboratory.
