Testimonials
I was fortunate enough to be in a batch of exceptionally talented students who played a significant role in broadening my scientific, personal, and political horizons. As a first-generation college/university student from my family and pursuing science, I could not have chosen a better place to pursue my master's and PhD degrees in Physics.

My post-graduation days in Physics was like a kid opening her eyes to new stages of opportunity and strength. Words can't express my gratitude to the excellent, vibrant, young, passionate faculty of the Physics department. They groomed us to be sound professionals. They have been incredibly generous with their time and energy, two things that can never be repaid, and I know they never expect us to. I am sure that DOP, CUSAT, will be an excellent place for a physics enthusiast. The team will mould you as a 'researcher' in every single sense!

The excellent guidance and teaching of the teachers, along with their support to pursue out-of-syllabus academic activities had helped me a lot when I joined for PhD. The in-campus life, i.e., the student life, apart from studies, has helped me to improve my social skills, which was quite useful when I was exposed to multicultural situations while studying abroad.

Exceptionally passionate faculty members focus on our academic and personal development and are always available to fill our curious minds. Interactions extended from the highly equipped research lab to tea time discussions and volleyball courts, which led us to the world of opportunities. The conversations were not merely on Physics but broad enough to ignite our thoughts of self- discovery.
