Department of Applied Physics, University of Calcutta

As with the other department, I think we are now asking for a world-class standard (I'm not sure I would want to quantify it as top 5 or 10 whatever, but that's about what I think we usually in mind). I don't think there is any evidence for this--The University as a whole is not in any of the world lists discussed at College and university rankings, & within India seems to rank #8 according to it's own web site On this Asian list it's only no.110. As for the subject field, I can not find it highly ranked on any India Engineering list. The previous AfD was several years afd as part of the Dept. of Law AfD.

 * Comment - I have carried out the merge of the essentials. Looking at the University article the university is so big that it would support a Faculties of the University of Calcutta page that would enable justice to be done to this aspect of the subject.

 * the subject is big; the article is under-developed and not yet too long as university articles go. That section should be expanded to list all the departments, and say something about them, and then perhaps moved to a separate page.   DGG ( talk ) 02:43, 7 October 2009 (UTC)
