The department of Physics is one of the oldest departments of Duliajan College, established in the year 1969. The first HoD of the department was the eminent scientist Dr. Jayanti Chutia who later became the Director of the Institute of Advanced Study in Science and Technology (IASST) , the first major research institution in North East India. The first batch of undergraduate BSc Honours in Physics under Dibrugarh University graduated in 1992. Currently, the department has four permanent faculties and one laboratory assistant. The department has a MoU with Physics department, D.H.S.K. College, Dibrugarh which has proved to benefit the students of both colleges. For the wellbeing and all-round development of the students, the faculties of the department also provide mentorship to its students under the Mentor-Mentee program. Along with teaching the Undergraduate students, the faculties are also engaged in teaching students of the Higher Secondary section. The alumni produced by the department over the years are placed in various places including the prestigious Dibrugarh University.
