It was started in the year 2004. Under each program, we offer a broad spectrum of courses that enable students to critically think, apply, analyze, evaluate and create. The department is well equipped with one laboratory, two Inoculation chamber and one preparation room. The laboratory can accommodate strength of 30 students at a time. The syllabus is periodically modified to lodge advanced trends in Microbiology. As part of the curriculum, educational visits to microbiology research and pathology laboratories and microbiology-based industries are organized for the students for experimental learning and in order to give a practical exposure of the subject and its applications.
