        abstract = {Students in Assam generally exhibit a mix of curiosity and apprehension toward physics education. Many appreciate the subject’s relevance to technology and real-world applications, recognizing that strong physics knowledge can open pathways to careers in engineering, research and applied sciences. However, a significant number also perceive physics as challenging due to its abstract concepts, complex mathematics, and often limited access to quality laboratory resources. Factors such as teaching methods, classroom environment and availability of practical learning opportunities influence students’ attitudes, those exposed to interactive demonstrations and contextualized examples tend to view the subject more positively. Additionally, differences in school infrastructure between urban and rural areas contribute to varied perceptions, with students in better-equipped schools often feeling more confident and motivated. Enhancing pedagogical approaches and strengthening support systems could help foster more positive attitudes and deeper engagement with physics among students across Assam. This study investigates the attitudes and perceptions of higher secondary school students toward physics education in Assam, India. Drawing on quantitative survey data and qualitative feedback, the research explores factors influencing students’ interest, motivation, and academic confidence in physics. Findings reveal mixed perceptions shaped by instructional methods, resource availability, and societal attitudes toward science subjects. The study highlights implications for curriculum development, teacher training, and educational policy to enhance physics learning outcomes in Assam.},
