The nearest international airports are at Chennai and Bangalore. The airport of Pondicherryis linked to Bangalore by Spicejet airlines.

About Department of PhysicsThe Department of Physics, came into existence in June 1987, offers a two year program of MSc and a five-year Integrated-MSc program (with specializations in Condensed Matter Physics, Electronics and LaserPhysics), Integrated-PhD and regular PhD programs. The research areas of the Department of Physics arewidespread in the fields of magnetic materials, multiferroics, spintronics, dielectrics, photonics, solid stateionics, spectroscopy and transport studies, nonlinear optics and semiconductor lasers, nonlinear dynamics,statistical mechanics, plasma physics, magnetohydrodynamics, atomic physics and quantum field theory. TheDepartment has nine patents and many national and international collaborative research programs. Thedepartment has been recognized for special funding by DST-FIST and UGC-SAP to promote research activitiesin Condensed matter physics, Optics, Lasers and Theoretical physics.

About MSIMagnetics Society of India is a registered professional body that came into existence in 1973 with its officelocated in DMRL Hyderabad. The main objective of MSI, among several others, is to bring together all thosewho work in the field of magnetics, to a common forum for dissemination of technical information, sharing oftechnical facilities, assessing the technical needs of industries and promoting a strong interaction amongacademicians, technocrats and entrepreneurs. Currently, the society derives its strength from nearly 60 Patronmembers (from companies) and about 550 Life members.
