Vision and Mission

Our Vision

To be a competitive center of excellence in teaching, learning and research to the standards of International Universities.

Our Mission

To provide the best training through teaching and research that enables students to master the concepts in applied physics so that they can apply it in the thrust areas of Engineering and technology and also to evoke their interest in advanced research areas.

Laboratories

The Engineering Physics lab at MVJCE is designed to provide students with hands-on experience and practical applications of theoretical concepts learned in the classroom. The lab typically covers experiments related to various branches of physics, including mechanics, optics, electricity, magnetism, and modern physics. The lab exercises are structured to help students develop skills in experimental techniques, data analysis, and scientific reasoning. Additionally, these experiments aim to deepen students’ understanding of fundamental physical principles and their applications in engineering contexts.
