DEPT. OF ZOOLOGY

B.Sc. Zoology
(3 Years)

The zealous zoology department was commenced in the academic year 2019 with an objective of imparting practical education and to enable the students to  understand the dynamic nature of Life Sciences. The Department comprises of an Enthusiastic students, Committed Teachers and Independent thinkers working and learning together to carve the future generation.

The department is well equipped with an admirable infrastructure and a feasible laboratory that would fulfill the requirement of the University syllabi. The department has brought a new hope for remediation and conservation of the human beings and also in the field of Medicine. The department has opened up a great avenue for higher education and employment for the ensuing generation. Hence it has formulated an effective teaching and learning methodologies and to enhance the Skill development of the students at various inter disciplinary area of life Sciences which would directly contribute to the society there by involving in the various research activities.
