ZOOLOGY

Planet earth is blessed with a diversified group of animals as an outcome of evolution through geological ages since the days life began on this.  Zoology is in fact a scientific branch of Biology that is concerned with the study of the animal kingdom bearing immense diversification at every level of body organization beginning from unicellular Protozoan to multi-cellular mammals. Moreover, its study also includes the interaction of animal kingdoms in their ecosystems such as classification, habits, structure, embryology, distribution, evolution, and extinct species. Zoology has achieved a great dimension with the emergence of many subbranches like cytology, genetics, developmental biology, Immunology, medical zoology,   Animal Behavior, Biostatistics, Molecular Biology & animal biotechnology, and very recently Bioinformatics. Thus, its study stands next to medical science, attracting a huge mass of biology students pursuing the subject as a attracts a huge mass of biology students towards pursuing this subject as a career.

Our department offers undergraduate General and Honours courses in Zoology.  The curriculum covers various aspects of Zoology namely the study of invertebrates and vertebrates,  Genetics, Microbiology, Molecular Biology, Pest Management, and Immunology. It has been designed so that students of our department find themselves able to pursue either Postgraduate or vocational courses in Zoology-related subjects. Our faculty encourages students to study relevant textbooks and do laboratory works properly. The department offers requisite assistance and a suitable atmosphere to equip students with sound knowledge of the subject and the latest research. 

  The students seeking admission to undergraduate courses in Zoology need to pass class  XII or equivalent examination from a recognized board. The study of Zoology provides various career options to students in the fields of genetics, biotechnology,  molecular biology, microbiology, and cytology. They can choose either the career of academicians or join the industry after becoming graduates. 

  Zoology is an ever-growing study. During the post-Covid days,  the research in this field has acquired a special dimension. The teaching faculty of The Department of Zoology always try to provide state-of-the-art education and training to students, so that they may find new avenues for further progress.
