HISTORY

The historical background of the creation of Department of Applied Physics and Electronics(APE) goes back to mid sixties when an urgent need to establish a department of Applied Physics and Electronics was felt. As a matter of fact APE began its journey in 1966 with few teaching staff and some 20 post graduate students under the leadership of the late Prof. M. R. Sarkar ( later became the Vice-Chancellor of this University). Undergraduate honours course was introduced in 1972. As the only other center of the Applied Physics and Electronics in the country, APE gradually rose to become a full-fledged and prestigious center of excellence. Today APE has a team of highly qualified and professionally well experienced academic members who are actively engaged in research within and outside the country. APE boasts of having close research links with the institutions of countries like Sweden, China and Vietnam. Students entering APE leave with self-confidence of the subject to meet any challenges demanded by their jobs. In fact employment opportunities of APE are better than any other department of the university. The prestige of a degree often opens the first door to interviews for jobs in services related to Computer, Communication, Defense, Civil Aviation, Remote sensing, GSB, Petrobangla, Radio, TV and other R & D centers etc.
