The Department of Science and Humanities is a primal department which consists of Chemistry, English, Mathematics and Physics disciplines. A high standard is maintained in the department when it comes to developing young minds. The availability of the Faculty Members to the students even out of class hours is emphasized. The Department caters to the overall development of the students through counseling sessions, Seminars, and Personality development programmes.

Good infrastructural facilities and a well-focused administrative structure strongly support a systematic work environment and salubrious study climate. All the laboratories are well equipped to enrich the students understanding and realizing the concepts of both theory and practical.

Vision

To make S&H Department a model of excellence in multi disciplinary branches of engineering by inculcating knowledge of Mathematics, Basic Sciences, Engineering Fundamentals and Professional Ethics so that the graduates can thrive and contribute to an ever changing global society.

Mission

M1. To develop a learning community where we learn, work and respect each other.

M2. To provide concrete foundation of engineering education using model tools and laboratories for teaching Mathematics, Basic Sciences and Engineering fundamentals.

M3. The department also aims at making the students confident in English language by training them in the major skills of the language: LSRW( Listening, Speaking, Reading and Writing).We look forward to help them strengthen the inborn skills with the proper training in soft skills and to lead a bright career ahead..

M4. To make vital contributions in areas such as faculty, modern labs, and demonstrate a high level of competence in the study of Engineering Physics.

M5. Develop a good citizen and a good human being through all round development.
