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
passed students has very less knowledge
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.
