The department of Physics was established in 1985 with Mr D. Sarma as the founder Head. The major course was started in 1999 and since then Department has been contributing a lot towards physics education, not only in Morigaon district, but also in the central Assam. This department has a rich history with regard to results and has produced many successful alumni. Department has four permanent Professors along with one guest Faculty. Students of this department are seen to pursue their higher studies in institutions like IITs, State and Central universities etc. With the proper guidelines of this Department many students have cleared national level examinations.
The department consists of a staff room, five laboratories (with a dark room) and two class rooms. A digital classroom with computer lab. facility is also available, which improves the quality of teaching and learning process.
With the commencement of the science stream at Morigaon College, the Department of Physics was established in the year 1985 under the leadership of Prof. D. Sarma. The department started offering Major courses in Physics, under the affiliation of Gauhati University, in 1999. In the year 1996, the science stream got a deficit in the grant from the government of Assam. Mrs Kabita Sarmah joined as Head of the department in 1996 till 2011. Following the HOD rotation policy by UGC, the Headship shifted to Mr Pallab Ch. Goswami, Mr Babul Talukdar and N.I. Ali Ahmed, respectively for the period of 2011-15, 2015-19, 2019-2022.
