Department of Science & Humanities
About Department:
The Department of Science and Humanities is a primal department which consists of Chemistry, Physics, Mathematics and English disciplines. All the disciplines in the department exist as a separate division and maintain individual identities. The varied disciplines provide the students with the knowledge of Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry, English and Environmental Science fundamentals. Developing moral behaviour among the students, utilizing human resources and coordinating academic responsibilities are the exclusive potentials of the department.
The department accomplishes transforming young aspiring minds into determined freshman engineers through Outcome Based Education. Besides, the department teaches students a positive ethos through Value-Based Education.
Dr. M.A. Neelakantan, Professor & Head, who has academic excellence and research experience for 38 years, leads the department with 30 highly qualified, experienced and goal-oriented members with specializations in various fields.

Physics Lab
Our physics laboratory provides hands-on learning experiences for students to explore and apply fundamental concepts in physics. Our lab allows students to engage in real-world experiments and research projects. Our dedicated faculty and staff are committed to foster a collaborative and stimulating learning environment where students can develop critical thinking and problem-solving skills. The laboratory environment facilitates the students to engage in project-based learning, which induces a culture of innovation.
English Lab
English language lab facilitates the students in enhancing their English language skills. Our lab was furnished with air-conditioned and high-processor systems. We have Anna University recommended softwares like Globarena, Orel talk, and Clarity with audio and video lectures for the professionals. Language lab helps professionals clear the Linguaskill examination, IELTS, and TOEFL with qualified faculty members. Our dedicated faculty members prepare professionals for placement and incorporate soft skills through soft skill trainers. We are an authorized center for conducting the Linguaskill examination offered by Cambridge University.
