Academic Department

The Department of Zoology is one of the established departments of this colloege since its inception. Over years the department has developed comprehensive collaborations with centers of excellence and has been pursuing cutting-edge research in its areas. The department has a core strength of faculty members trained in advanced scientific biological research. Zoology deals with the study of animal kingdom specially the structural diversity, biology, embryology, evolution, habits and distribution of animals, both living and extinct.

Zoology is the study of living organisms, specifically animals. Zoologists study multiple species in a certain ecosystem, population interactions, and specific species or behaviors. They collect and analyze data in labs or outdoor environments.it has been the foremost centre for learning in all aspects of Animal Sciences in India.Initial teaching efforts in the department was tailored to train students leading them to a B.Sc. degree. This course is about animals – their evolution and diversity, and the methods we use to study them. It will give you an overview of how the form, function and behaviour of animals are adapted to their lifestyle and their environment. The course comprises five half term sections in Behaviour and Ecology, Brains and Behaviour, Insect Biology, Vertebrate Evolutionary Biology, and Evolutionary Principles. You will be taught by lecturers who are actively researching in these fields, and the breadth of topics, questions and approaches of IB Animal Biology will allow a broad range of choices for your third year studies.

Programmes:

• The Department offers full time B.Sc. in Zoology and M.Sc. in Zoology programmes.
• The four-year undergraduate programme in Zoology is divided into eight semesters. Zoology is the study and investigation of animal life, from whole animals and generations through tissues to their cells and molecular structures. It provides a wide range of ideas and concepts about Ecology & Biochemistry, Comparative Anatomy, Ecology & Biochemistry, Animal Physiology, Mammalian Physiology, Molecular Biology etc.
• The M.Sc. Zoology course is for two years and divided into four semesters. It consists of exploring the specialized knowledge of animals and their biological processes. Candidates in this discipline are basically taught regarding animal anatomy, physiology, biochemistry, genetics, evolution, ecology, behavior, conservation etc. M.Sc Zoology course equally covers theoretical and practical sessions to help students understand the concepts in a better way.
