About the Department

The department of Physics, Jorhat Kendriya Mahavidyalaya was established in the year 1992, with the first batch of student in higher secondary level .The UG (general) was introduced from the academic session 1995-96 and major course was introduced from the academic session 2005-2006. The department started functioning two teachers Mr. Prasanta Baruah, Dr. Sumbit Chaliha as assistant professor. In due course of time the department had developed to a fully fledged department with both major and non major in the B.Sc semester system along with higher secondary section. The current faculty strength of the department is three assistant professors.
