Department of Physics
Introduction
In June 1970, to fulfil the need and demand of Students in this region to study latest and professional subjects, Mahatma Basweshwar Mahavidyalaya, Latur run by Mahatma Basweshwar Education Society, Latur introduced Physics as an optional subject at BSc undergraduate level. First batch passed out in March/April 1986. In all 40 batches have been passed out. Dr. Umakant V. Biradar was the first head of the department who served the department from August 1983 to June 2020. Presently, Associate Prof. Dr. Sidram M. Dongarge is head of the department from June 2020. He is working in the department since August 2005. Mr. Rameshwar S. Devhade recently appointed as assistant professor in Department of Physics in the December 2025. Ku. Sweta C. Raje is working as assistant professor (CHB) in the department since July 2025. Physics Department is dedicated to provide high quality education and fostering innovation in the field of Physics.
We have well-equipped laboratory with necessary instruments like CROs, Frequency Generators, Micro-controller kits, Microprocessor Kits, OP-AMP kits, DAC, ADC, LCD Projector etc. The faculty, as BOS member, is involved in the academic curriculum design process of the Affiliating University. The department holds a good record of academic results. Various activities like certificate course, class seminars etc are undertaken by the department. The faculties have developed E-content and published the same through the e-platforms like YouTube, WhatsApp etc.
