The Department of Applied Sciences teaches and promotes practical aspects of Applied Sciences to build a solid foundation as part of the Engineering Education. The department prepares students for core engineering branches by educating them in the basic sciences of physics, chemistry, and mathematics in the first year. The department was established in the year 2001.
Mathematics The Department of Mathematics at NMIT, Nitte DU, Bengaluru, is a vibrant academic unit committed to excellence in both teaching and research. Our highly qualified and experienced faculty deliver mathematics courses across all undergraduate and postgraduate programs, while also guiding research scholars in their areas of specialization.
The department provides students with a strong foundation in mathematics and essential computational skills to address real-world and research challenges. Emphasizing conceptual clarity, critical thinking, and innovative teaching methods, we foster an engaging and effective learning environment.
We also offer a Ph.D. program for motivated students interested in cutting-edge research areas such as Graph Theory, Fluid Mechanics, Biofluid Mechanics, Optimization, Riemannian Manifolds, and Statistics. Our faculty have an impressive record of publications in reputed journals and conferences, reflecting our strong research culture.
Department of Chemistry Established in 2001, plays a vital role in teaching engineering chemistry to students across various engineering disciplines. Known for its rigorous, updated curriculum, the department has made significant contributions to the teaching-learning process. The department is strengthened by a highly qualified team of faculty, the majority of whom hold doctoral degrees, with expertise spanning diverse areas such as liquid crystals, materials science, corrosion, sensors, photocatalysis, membrane technology, green energy, polymers, and computational chemistry. Many of the Ph.D.-qualified faculty are also recognized research supervisors under Nitte (Deemed to be University), Visvesvaraya Technological University, and University of Mysore.
There are four research labs, including an Advanced Materials Research Lab, equipped with state-of-the-art instruments such as spectrophotometers (IR and UV-Vis) electrochemical workstation, photocatalytic chamber.
Research endeavours have led to completion of 5 funded projects, and 5 more projects are ongoing from different funding agencies like VGST, AICTE, DRDO, MHRD and DST. Ph.D. scholars in the department are engaged in research through both full-time and part-time study.
The department consistently publishes a significant number of research papers in high-impact international journals each year. Notably - Dr. Gururaj K J, and Dr. Manjunath K have been listed among the top 2% of scientists globally, according to the Stanford/Elsevier survey.
Physics is the essential discipline of science that enables us to comprehend the world around us. It encompasses an extensive group of topics, from the study of the tiniest subatomic particles to investigation of the universe. Furthermore, physics serves as the foundation for numerous technological and professional programs. The Department of Physics was founded at NMIT at the time of the institute's establishment in the year 2001, and since then, it has attained significant accomplishments in both education and research. In the year 2025, NMIT has proudly attained the status of being a constituent institution of Nitte (Deemed to be University).
The physics department offers a Physics course for all B.Tech. programs in the first year, and the curriculum is different for different programs based on their core subjects' needs. This course encompasses a range of experiments in conjunction with theoretical physics to provide students with practical experience. Furthermore, the department presents unique open elective courses for various B. Tech programs, tailored to meet the needs and expectations of the industry and academia.
The department boasts a robust research foundation and a dedicated team of knowledgeable academic members engaged in a wide range of research areas, including Polymer nanocomposites, Meta materials, EMI shielding, Wood waste composites, Electrochromic materials, Low temperature magnetic studies, X-ray spectroscopy, Trace Element analysis, Electrochromic thin films, Optoelectronic devices, Nanotextiles, Photodetector, energy storage devices etc. The department provides a Ph.D. program in Physics under Nitte (Deemed to be University). It features a well-equipped Polymer Nanocomposite lab, as well as a Nanomaterials and MEMS lab, where both undergraduate students and faculty members collaborate on various projects. Numerous research articles authored by faculty members have been published in esteemed national and international journals and presented at conferences. Additionally, several patents have been filed and published by different faculty members.
Faculty members nurture themselves by taking online courses, participating in workshops, and attending Faculty Development Programs (FDPs). The department has secured funding for research from reputable government agencies such as DRDO, AICTE, GTRE, DST, and VGST.
