Programme Outcome :(PO) (2024–25)


Physics deals with a wide variety of systems. Certain core theories are universally used by physicists, and these have been experimentally tested many times, found to accurately approximate nature.

Physics uses mathematics to organize and analyze experimental results. From these results, precise or estimated solutions and quantitative outcomes are drawn — leading to new predictions that can be tested.

Modern technologies, especially those based on mathematics like computation, have made computational physics an important and active field of research. The results from physics are largely numerical measurements, essential for advancing scientific understanding.
