DEPARTMENT OF ZOOLOGY

PROGRAMME OFFERED

Zoology was introduced as one of the minor subjects in the college in 1976, particularly to cater to the needs of students pursuing medical courses. Subsequently, the university incorporated the three-equal-subject scheme in the curriculum in 1989.

The Department of Zoology has continued to provide students with opportunities to develop knowledge and practical skills in biological sciences. The department emphasizes classroom learning, laboratory work, field studies, study tours and experiential learning.
