This department plays a vital role in guiding the students so that there is a smooth transition from the study they had at 10 + 2 level to the study they undergo in Engineering and Technology. Teachers of this department belong to different disciplines namely Mathematics, Physics and English.

Various Activities of The Department:

College Day Celebrations:

The department plays a very vital and dynamic role in organizing the college "Annual Day" celebrations. All literary competitions are organized by this department.

Participation In Literacy Drive And Janmabhoomi Programmes:

A novel functional literacy programme using computers was organised with the participation of our first year students, on behalf of Tata Consultancy Services, Hyderabad. This programme enabled the illiterates to read news papers after a month's training.

Laboratories:

Physics Lab:

The physics Lab is very spacious and is fully equipped which can accommodate 35 students at a time. It is worth-while to mention that certain concepts like fiber optics, laser and Holography are explained by using laboratory kits.

Engineering Chemistry (Fuels and Lubricants) Lab

The chemistry lab is housed in Mechanical Engineering Department for doing experiments on Fuels and Lubricants. Only the Mechanical Engineering stream of B.Tech I/IV has this lab.

Future Plans:

i) We intend to start a Science and Humanities Association, which can arrange lectures, Mathematical Quiz etc. It is proposed to have an Open-Day / Exhibition in the college premises during the next academic year.
ii) An English lab is also planned for improving written and oral communication skills of students.

The department is planning to take two photo conductive cells and two solar cells for physics lab for demonstration purposes to make the students understand the theoretical background of each.
