The Department of Science & Humanities at Amrita Sai Institute of Science and Technology forms the academic core that supports every engineering programme. Established in August 2007, the department plays a pivotal role in building strong conceptual grounding across mathematics, physics, chemistry, English communication, and professional skills.
As the starting point of engineering education at ASIST, the department connects theoretical understanding with application-oriented learning. It strengthens analytical reasoning, scientific thinking, language proficiency, and overall student readiness, creating the academic base required for success across modern technical disciplines.
With a steadily expanding academic ecosystem, the department continues to support the institute’s growing intake, reaching 1050 seats in the academic year 2026–27, reflecting sustained institutional progress and student demand.
The department strives to impart social, professional, and personal skills that support the holistic development of every technical graduate, contributing towards a responsible and skilled society.
To provide multi-skilled technical graduates who contribute meaningfully towards building a better and resourceful society.
The English Department supports student communication and employability through structured language development. Programmes include the Cambridge English Empower initiative and dedicated labs for Listening, Speaking, Reading, and Writing (LSRW). The department operates advanced language labs with tools such as K-Van Software and Rosetta Stone, helping students build clarity, confidence, and professional articulation.
Mathematics faculty deliver engineering-focused learning across areas such as discrete structures, probability, statistics, aptitude, and reasoning. The department strengthens quantitative foundations critical to computing, analytics, and core engineering disciplines.
Physics faculty contribute actively through research and teaching in areas including solid state physics, nuclear physics, and emerging domains such as quantum computing. The department supports B.Tech curriculum through well-equipped General Physics and Optics laboratories.
The Chemistry Department supports all engineering branches through practical experimentation, research support, and foundational chemical understanding. The laboratory infrastructure is compatible with both curriculum delivery and applied research activities.
Physical education is integrated into student development through structured sports infrastructure and coaching support. Facilities include courts and grounds for volleyball, kabaddi, cricket, badminton, athletics, and indoor games such as table tennis and chess.
Associate Professor & Head, Science & Humanities
The department includes an experienced team of faculty members across disciplines, supported by dedicated technical staff and administrative coordinators. Faculty members actively participate in conferences, research programmes, and academic enhancement initiatives.
