The Department of Zoology was established in 2009, to prepare the highest quality of students, inculcating the highest values of life, science education, and concern for ethical values among students through good and scientific educational practices. The Zoology Department offers undergraduate (Ug) and postgraduate (Pg) programs, attracting a strong number of students. These programs are effectively supported by a dedicated team of two staff members. We strive to maintain a rigorous and comprehensive teaching curriculum to inculcate problem-solving and analytical abilities in our students. Our focus is that the course curriculum should have broad applicability and foster the ability to adapt to the changing world of animal sciences. We have introduced a field learning component in our teaching program that has helped our students learn biological science skills in compelling ways. A series of lectures, workshops, and service activities are promoted at all levels by the department. The department focused on both teaching and high-quality research (basic and multidisciplinary) in the frontier areas of Zoology and its interface with allied disciplines.
Department of Zoology established the ‘Biological Society’ for the improvement and motivation of the students, society is constituted for the overall development of students who undertake academic and extracurricular activities. One well-developed laboratory with different types of models, specimens, charts, permanent slides, microscopes, and other equipment is available. Faculty members specialize in areas like limnology and environmental studies, contributing significantly to research in these fields. They regularly present their work at national and international conferences and publish in esteemed peer-reviewed journals.
To broaden opportunities for students and faculty, the department has established a Memoranda of Understanding (MoUs) with leading institutions, fostering collaborations in interdisciplinary studies and applied research. Through its innovative teaching methods, research initiatives, and community engagement, the Department of Zoology continues to prepare students for academic and professional success while nurturing an appreciation for the natural world.
