The Department of Basic Sciences and Humanities was established in 2007 with a current year intake of 1,020 students. The Basic Science Department plays a pivotal role in providing a strong foundation for engineering students.
The department imparts essential knowledge in subjects like mathematics, physics, chemistry, and communication for comprehensive student development. This forms the cornerstone for various engineering disciplines.
The Department has its own departmental library with a comprehensive collection of books to serve as a ready source of information. It comprises a team of experienced and well-qualified faculty members who have a passion for teaching and provide high-quality instruction, helping students build a strong academic foundation.
The Department focuses on interdisciplinary learning, which bridges the gap between science and engineering, fostering innovative thinking among students. This approach is vital for solving complex real-world engineering problems.
Basic science courses emphasize critical thinking and problem-solving skills, which are highly transferable to engineering tasks. Studying the fundamentals of science can inspire creativity in engineering students, encouraging innovative solutions to engineering challenges.
The department organizes industrial visits and expert lectures on emerging trends, featuring eminent personalities from industry and academia.
To establish a link between students and parents, the department has implemented a Mentor-Mentee scheme. Teachers act as mentors, guides, and philosophers who interact constantly with students. This academic family approach helps address students' educational, socio-economic, health-related, and personal challenges, providing comprehensive support and guidance.
