Department of Zoology




Department of Zoology was established in the Year 1988.

Aims and Objectives:
• To develop and improve Students understanding of the Diversity of animal life and economic values of animals to mankind.
• To know Zoo-geological Realms of World To understand animals as Pollution Indicators
• To visit to Wild life sanctuaries, National parks, Zoological gardens and Aquatic zones to study biodiversity of animal life.

Stratergies:
• Arranging the Guest lecturers from different places.
• Visiting Sanctuaries and National parks to study diversity of animal life.

Students enrolled in B.Sc. (Hons.) degree program in Zoology will study and acquire complete knowledge of disciplinary as well as allied biological sciences. At the end of graduation, they should possess expertise which will provide them competitive advantage in pursuing higher studies from India or abroad; and seek jobs in academia, research or industries. Students should be able to identify, classify and differentiate diverse chordates and non-chordates based on their morphological, anatomical and systemic organization. They will also be able to describe economic, ecological and medical significance of various animals inhuman life. This will create a curiosity and awareness among them to explore the animal diversity and take up wild life photography or wild life exploration as a career option. The procedural knowledge about identifying and classifying animals will provide students professional advantages in teaching, research and taxonomist jobs in various government organizations; including Zoological Survey of India and National Parks/Sanctuaries. Acquired practical skills in biotechnology, biostatistics, bioinformatics and molecular biology can be used to pursue career as a scientist in drug development industry in India or abroad. Our students will be acquiring basic experimental skills in various techniques in the fields of genetics; molecular biology; biotechnology; qualitative and quantitative microscopy; enzymology and analytical biochemistry. These methodologies will provide an extra edge toour students, who wish to undertake higher studies. In-depth knowledge an understanding about comparative anatomy and developmental biology of various biological systems; and learning.
