Mentoring

We mentor MSc and PhD students - to counsel, to give value education and moral support to them. We wish to give not only academic knowledge to our students, but also aim to support them beyond classroom. We  aspire that our students  become good Physicists,  good and sensitive human beings, who can serve the society, country and mankind, and bring laurels to us, in the years to come...
