The Department of Physics and Astronomical Sciences, CU Jammu was established in the year 2016 with the introduction of a five-year Integrated Masters in Science (Physics) program with a sanctioned strength of 30 students. A panel of national experts framed the initial structure of the Int. M.Sc. Program. The aim of the program was on the emphasis to strengthen core-competence in Physics, while allowing the students to gain exposure to various other fields from sciences and humanities, thus giving a meaning to the integrated Masters title of the program. The Ph.D. program in Physics has been started from 2018. The research interests of the faculty members cover a broad range of topics: Condensed Matter Physics, Lasers and Photonics, Nuclear Theoretical Physics, Statistical Physics, and Material Science.
