Greeting from the Department of Zoology.
The world is going through a tremendous positive transformation, and in education its effects are clearly discernible. We in the department want to be the part of this positive change utilizing our core strengths. Our goal is to help students to reach their maximum potential in the domains they are passionate about and equip them with the skills needed to meet future challenges. To reach this, students are provided with avenues to develop inter-disciplinary projects to acquire organization, presentation and leadership skills. Always striving to provide the best facilities to our students, the department is constantly on the move by organizing workshops, seminars and hands-on sessions to improve the practical aspects of a student‘s learning process. An excellent academic ambiance with highly motivated faculty complemented with a wide variety of co-curricular and extra-curricular activities provide a holistic approach to the development of students.
