It’s my pleasure and privilege to express few words about our department of Physics.

The department of Physics was established in 1918 AD. At first stage, the department started to conduct program of intermediate in science to fulfill the demand of students for enrollment in medicine and in engineering. At the second stage, Bachelor’s degree in science was started to fulfill the demand of high school science and math teachers and to induct into government services. Higher education in Nepal was started from Tri-Chandra Multiple Campus.

This Department is committed to support the mission of Tri-Chandra college for producing human resources needed for overall development of our country,Nepal. It does this through excellence teaching in classroom and instructions to acquire the knowledge, develops skills and competencies. This department offers various subject combinations for students

Physics, Chemistry, Math (PCM),Environment, Physics and Maths (EPM), GSM, MPM. etc.

The department emphasis on experimental and extracurricular activities, project work, Workshops scientific talk programme, Teachers training programme, collaborative program, research work……etc.

All faculty members of this department are highly qualified and are ever ready to help students who are in need of any educational assistance. M.Sc. in Physics was launched in 1964 AD in the Department, which was later shifted to Central Campus in Kirtipur in 1966.

Prof.Phanindra Prasad Lohani was former head of department since 2012 to 2019.The first Chair was Prof. Ashutosh and chaired the post from 2012 B.S.

Various types of academics programme are conducted in the Department.

Through hands -on learning in classes internships, leadership in student’s clubs, environment clubs eco-club, global learning out of class experiences, students can get practical experiences that complement their class room learning.

The goal of the Department is to prepare undergraduate students. Most of the students choose the job of teaching in high school all over Nepal, some of them continue their higher study both in Nepal and abroad.

They are committed to help student for making them success in their carrier. They are advancing their fields of expertise by publishing their research work and teaching materials in leading academic journals and publications. Bringing leading edge research to the classroom means that students benefits from recent advances in knowledge and the wisdom inside the faculty at the forefront of their profession.

Because of the pandemic situation real classes were not possible due to lock down imposed by the government keeping in view of the public health safety. The Department of Physics, despite this, conducted online virtual classes from 23, April 2020, using google meet, zoom and Microsoft teams provided by Tribhuwan University central office . The classes were conducted from B. Sc. first year to fourth year and is continuous till now. Teaching and learning is a continuous process and therefore it should not be stopped as otherwise it may have long term bad consequences on human resources production that is needed for the smooth functioning of the country in different time.

The department of Physics provides quality education on a large number of students from across the country having diverse socio-Economic cultural background. Because of the regular classes, project work, smooth practical classes and committed teaching faculty, the number of students are increasing, located at the heart of the capital city.

Students can choose their interested subject because of the availability of the various combinations of subjects in Physics.

Being a government run campus the fee structure is minimum, students from poor economic background can also afford easily in comparison to private campuses where fee structure is generally high.

We have well qualified permanent and part time Physics faculties for guiding the students in various subjects of Physics and supervise their project work if in case of demand. some of them are experts in plasma Physics Superconductivity, Thins films, Astrophysics, Electronics, Solar panel design, Medical physics, computational Physics, atmospheric physics etc.

Let me, on behalf of department, extend my heartfelt gratitude to parents, Guardians, teaching and non -teaching staffs, students and all the Well-wishers of Tri –Chandra Campus.

We want to make the Department of Physics as center of excellence and our efforts are ever invested to retain this idea and contribute to produce the holistic citizens so as to  make them able to shoulder the responsibility of society and nation needed in various walks of lives .We are committed to prepare the human capital instilled with both the hard skills and the soft skills to empower them to becomes innovative think of creative problem solvers and inspired learners prepared to thrive in the coming years .The department is committed to create a positive school culture where the seed of future holistic citizens is nurtured .

The height and strength that this department has acquired, so far are not by a single hand but by the combined efforts of team work. These outcomes are also contemplated by the institution’s long legacy, and her inner system.
