Department Of Zoology

• They will be encouraged to develop scientific temperament, real life challenges will help in developing analytical skills. Internships would become the stepping stone to success in research/job Industry

• Zoology Department was established in the Year 1993. This course was offered at the UG level in the science stream.
• It started with combination of BZC. It is of a duration of 3 years
• Post graduation course in Zoology was started in the academic year 2005-2006.
• M.Sc. Zoology course is for a duration of 2 years. Students join through PGCET as well as a few management seats are available
