About the Department
The Department of Applied Science accomplishes its vision of “Producing alumni who will build and uphold the reputation of the department as a premier teaching and research establishment and attract young talents through their own endeavour” with the help of a team of dynamic and versatile faculty members. The department has been offering the BSc Applied Science programme since 1971, and MPhil & PhD programmes since 1977. The innovative teaching methodologies adopted by the faculty members and the laboratory / research facilities provided by the department are aimed to make a positive impact on the students. The curriculum is built and updated based on National / Global scientific and technological growth. The department engages in interactions with other Institutes / Organizations and Industries through various outreach programs. The outcome of these interactions apparently infiltrates into the teaching learning process, thus providing quality higher education on par with International standards. This in turn helps our undergrads to certainly find a position in the national and international research Institutes and Industries as well. The various in house co-curricular and extracurricular activities helps our students to appreciate the spirit of team work and to build organizational and leadership qualities.
About the Programme
The B.Sc. Applied Science Programme which is currently a Government aided programme, commenced in the year 1971 and PSG College of Technology is the pioneer in running this programme. It has a unique structure in the sense that it gives the students a broad based science background. They may however specialize in one of the basic sciences namely Physics, Chemistry or Mathematics with adequate computer programming skills. This helps to prepare the students for any analytically oriented profession, while at the same time enabling them to take up post-graduate studies in physical, mathematical and computational sciences. Subsequently they could pursue research in the leading institutions and national R & D laboratories. Besides the regular theory and laboratory subjects, students are offered elective subjects in emerging areas of study. They are also exposed to engineering practices and research methodologies by means of a project that has to be completed in the final semester. This would enable them to engage in life-long learning and thereby make them versatile practitioners or researchers in their chosen fields.
Scope for placement and higher studies

A sizeable group of students aspire to do their post-graduation in Physics,
Chemistry or Mathematics in reputed Institutions such as IITs, IISc, NITs, and
Central
Universities; Management or Computer Application programmes in Institutions such as
IIMs, reputed B-Schools, Engineering Institutions and Universities by successfully
clearing the appropriate entrance examinations. In addition to this, our students
are
eligible to do PG programmes in Physics, Chemistry, Mathematics, Materials Science,
Applied Physics, Medical Physics, Applied Chemistry and Applied Mathematics.
Eligibility
A pass in Higher Secondary examination of the (10+2) curriculum
prescribed by the
appropriate authority of the Government of Tamil Nadu with Mathematics, Physics and
Chemistry as the subjects of study or any other exam recognized as equivalent.
Based on ranking, as per the aggregate percentage of marks obtained in
Mathematics, Physics and Chemistry of the plus two examinations, the candidate will
be
selected for admission and will be intimated through the applicants' registered
e-mail.
