The Department of Physics at IIT Guwahati launched the B.Tech. Engineering Physics Program in 2006, aiming to educate and train bright students as engineers while instilling essential knowledge in physics and applied physics. The program features systematically designed courses that provide a comprehensive understanding of physics, incorporating hands-on experience with modern experimental techniques and equipment. Additionally, the department offers specialized courses within the B.Tech. program, providing students with exposure to the latest advances in science and technology, fostering deeper insights.

The success of the inaugural batch is noteworthy, as all graduating students from the B.Tech. Engineering Physics Program secured either industrial placements or gained admission to prestigious universities in the United States and Europe for higher studies. This achievement underscores the effectiveness of the program in preparing students for both professional success and advanced academic pursuits, highlighting the department's commitment to excellence in education and research.
