Learning the Language of Nature
The Science stream of Moran College was established in 1985 with Higher Secondary classes in Physics, Chemistry, Mathematics, Biology, English, Alternative English, and MIL, beginning with 25 students and one teacher per subject. The UG General course was introduced in 1987 under Dibrugarh University, followed by the Major course in 2003. The stream came under the deficit system in 1996.
The Physics Department is dedicated to quality teaching, research, and community service. It offers strong academic programs that prepare students for careers in academia, industry, and government.

The Department of Physics has developed a comprehensive digital academic ecosystem that integrates library automation, learning management systems, and skill-oriented add-on courses to enhance transparency, accessibility, and student engagement.
A key feature of this initiative is the fully automated Departmental e-Library equipped with an Online Public Access Catalogue (OPAC). Students can access the catalogue digitally, scan QR codes to explore available resources, and manage book issuance, return, and fine records online. This ensures efficient resource management and promotes independent learning habits.
The department also uses the Moodle Learning Management System (LMS) for real-time attendance tracking and academic resource sharing. Attendance is recorded digitally, allowing students to monitor their own attendance status transparently. Course materials, lecture notes, assignments, and announcements are shared through Moodle, creating a centralized and structured learning environment.
To bridge the gap between physics and emerging technological demands, the department offers add-on courses in Information Technology and programming. These courses equip students with computational and analytical skills, enhancing their employability and research capabilities.
This integrated digital approach ensures academic transparency, student empowerment, skill development, and efficient academic administration, making it a distinctive best practice of the Department of Physics.
Academic, creative, and cultural highlights of the department
The Department of Physics at Moran College actively engages students and science enthusiasts in astronomy-related outreach and experiential learning activities beyond regular classroom teaching. One of the flagship efforts in this direction is the “Explore the Sky” programme - a sky observation and astronomy workshop designed ...
