Discription of IAPT-APhO Cell: The Graphic Era Hill University has always been a great upholder of innovation and academic excellence. To achieve the distinction in all fields related to student welfare, the University never left any stone unturned. Under this initiative, a dedicated and functional laboratory was established in the Department of Physics, Graphic Era Hill University, Dehradun, in collaboration with the Indian Association of Physics Teachers (IAPT). This unique establishment is the only laboratory nationwide named the Asian Physics Olympiad (APhO) cell. The APhO Cell is equipped with various innovative physics experiments developed internationally and aims to spread awareness of the highly prestigious Asian Physics Olympiad (APhO) international competition.

The national APhO Cell was established in the Department of Physics, Graphic Era Hill University, Dehradun campus, in July 2023. The Asian Physics Olympiad cell has the vision of making students more interested in physics with innovative learning methods and providing an environment where they can explore various physics experiments independently and become more independent. The APhO cell activities allow students to realize the level of intellect of multiple participants of previous APhO examinations and take inspiration from it. The APhO Cell, Department of Physics, Graphic Era Hill University, and Dehradun Campus have several experimental setups that have been part of the APhO examination for the last ten years.
