Department of Zoology

Program

 

      The Department of Zoology offers a comprehensive undergraduate programme leading to the Bachelor of Science (B.Sc.) in Zoology. The course is designed to provide students with a strong foundation in animal sciences, enabling them to understand animal diversity, structure, functions, behavior, and ecological significance.

The programme emphasizes scientific knowledge, analytical thinking, and practical skills through the systematic study of animal biology, physiology, genetics, evolution, ecology, and environmental science.

It incorporates theoretical learning along with practical exposure such as laboratory experiments, dissections, field visits, specimen collection, project work, seminars, and presentations, enabling students to connect scientific concepts with real-world biological and environmental applications.

The curriculum introduces students to animal taxonomy, physiology, genetics, ecology, evolution, biotechnology, and research methodology, helping them develop the ability to analyze animal systems, understand biodiversity, and conduct scientific investigations.

Throughout the programme, students are encouraged to build laboratory skills, observational abilities, environmental awareness, and research aptitude, which are essential for higher education and professional careers in science, research, wildlife conservation, and environmental management.

Programme Highlights:
• Study of Animal Diversity, Taxonomy, and Physiology
• Introduction to Genetics, Evolution, and Ecology
• Hands-on Training in Laboratory Techniques and Dissection Work
• Practical Exposure through Field Visits, Projects, and Specimen Study
• Continuous Internal Assessment and University Examination System

Admission Criteria: Candidates seeking admission to the B.Sc. Zoology programme must have successfully passed the Higher Secondary Examination (12th / HSC) with Science stream or its equivalent from a recognized board. Admission is granted strictly as per university rules and government regulations.
