PROGRAM outcomes of B.Sc. Physics
(2018-2019 )
Programme Outcomes (POs):
PO 1. Physics covers a large area of study. Its range is very vast, from molecular level to astronomical level. Thus it's exciting also.
PO 1. Physics is often referred to as the "Fundamental Science." It is a science of nature through which one can understand the fundamental principles of the universe, Physics is applied to everyday life/things, to understand how objects around us work. It deals with the laws and properties of matter and the forces which act upon them. Quite often, physics concentrates upon the forces having an impact upon matter, that is, gravitation, heat, light, magnetism, electricity and others.
PO 2. Everything around us uses energy in one way or another. When learning about and discussing physics, we focus heavily on energy, the core element of the science. Physics is the science in which matter and energy are studied both separately and in combination with one another.
PO 3. Importance is given to scientific method, hypothesis, experimental skill and problem solving(understand, plan the solution starting with concepts). Perform experiments and interpret the results of observation, including making an assessment of experimental uncertainties.
PO 4. Since physics utilizes elements of other branches of sciences, biology and chemistry, it has the reputation of being more complicated than other sciences.
PO 5. Physics is closely related to mathematics, for it provides the logical structure in which physical laws may be formulated and their predictions are quantified. Physics definitions, models and theories are expressed using mathematical symbols and formulas.
PO 6. Physics concentrates on the material world; it tests its theories through the process known as observation or experimentation.
PO 7: The programme also aims to attract outstanding students from all backgrounds.
PO 8. The bachelor degree course in Physics acts as the base to study various higher education courses. Upon completion of the course, the candidate can go for master’s degree in various specialized areas. There is provision to go for higher education after master’s degree in Physics.

RESULT ANALYSIS 2021-22
Course outcome attained from course exit survey for the academic year 2019- 2022 in the subject Physics is as shown in the graphs. An attempt has been made to summarize the performance of the students, who have entered the course in the year 2019-20
It is found that the students secured ‘A’ grade or distinction marks in IA (20 marks), but some students secured medium, low and below marks in the University exams (for 80 marks). Generally students have no anxiety of getting passing marks in IA tests. This is because tests are given for limited portions like one or two chapters. Improvement tests are also given for the slow learners. Due to these reasons almost all the students secured ‘A’ grade in class tests. While facing the University exams, since they have to read the entire syllabus, exam anxiety arises due to fear of not getting satisfactory marks. This emotional state probably contributes to lesser grade secured in the final. This could be due to lack of self desire to study and not willing to work hard need to succeed, lack of attention and self confidence.
Percentage of rural students inour department has been a matter of great concern. But the faculty managed to get the best out of them by using different teaching methodologies and many of the students have secured distinctions.
Because of the sincere efforts of both the teachers and students, the results have been improved from 2019 onwards. We observed that 2019 batch students have got 98% in I sem and 100% in II sem and 100% in further semesters also. The overall performance during the year 2021-2022 has been outstanding. Most of the students have been able to score higher marks and persue higher studies.
As many as 14 students of the current year got placed in different software companies and have started their Mtech in WIPRO as well
Actions taken to resolve any weakness to improve the performance of the slow learners in the examination are:
1. We have identified the difficulties with students in learning the difficult portions and taken special classes in order to clear their doubts, chapter wise tests are also conducted regularly to resolve the problem as much as possible.
2. In the tutorial classes we re-explained course content by adopting simpler teaching methods. Additional study materials are given to students at their request. Individual attention is given to slow learners.
3. We provide opportunities to take Re-test or improvement test if they score less marks due to unavoidable circumstances sometimes.
4. We appreciate and felicitate those advanced learners and students who score highest in subjects. Merit prizes are distributed at the time of College Day.
Note:
· Results are displayed on the notice board.
· Mechanism to deal with examination related grievances is transparent, time-bound and efficient.
· The institution adheres to the academic calendar for the conduct of Continuous Internal Evaluation (CIE).
· Mechanism of Internal assessment is transparent.
We identify weakness to improve Student learning by
· Providing feedback to correct misconceptions.
· Modifying course content.
· Changing our approach for teaching a concept or skill.
· Bringing to the notice of parents at Parents-Teachers meeting.
