The PG Department of Zoology was established in the academic year 2017-18 with a student strength of 25. It has grown ever since with the aim of identifying one’s potential to become a centre for augmenting and contributing continuously to the vibrant field of Zoology. The department strives to create and provide an ambient learning atmosphere and prepare students for academia, industry and productive application of aquired knowledge in everyday life.
It strives to promote holistic development of students by inculcating a spirit of inquest, discipline and adventure through various academic and co-curricular activities. Apart from the syllabus, the department emphasizes on Value Addition Programs like Open electives which include selecting a subject other than the core subject to bring about a inter-disciplinary view point to learning.
All the courses in the program are carefully designed to equip the students for competitive exams like CSIR NET, GATE, K-SET etc and hone their research abilities with project works guided by excellent faculty. Presently 5 dedicated and well qualified faculty members are working in the department, among them two of the faculty members are Ph.D., holders and others have UGC-CSIR NET/ KSET.
