Hi, this is the Engineering Physics [06PHY12] course home page for first semester BE students at SBMJCE, Bangalore. The website features lecture notes, problem sets with solutions, exams with solutions, past VTU question papers and links to related resources. You can download the study materials by clicking on the links.  This site will be under construction till the course gets over, so stay tuned.

Lab manual for 06PHY17: Engineering Physics Lab is available here. Students are advised to take a good quality of print-out and get it neatly bounded which they are required to bring to all the practical classes.

Its very unfortunate that VTU has  introduced some 11th  hour changes in the question paper pattern of the coming semester exam. Instead of blaming the system, its better if you train yourself to adjust to the change. You can download the multiple choice questions by clicking here. This will take care of the new changes.
