Vision and Mission of the Department
Zoology is basically the science of all the fauna surrounding us. Right from the microscopic bacteria to the huge blue whales, Zoology encompasses the detailed anatomy, physiology, chemistry of these organisms. Zoology also caters to the recent advances in biotechnology and genetics.
The goal of the department is to not only impart coursework to the students. It is envisioned to inspire the students to explore these myriad of fields. The department endeavors to prepare the students to compete in the outside world and to make informed career decisions.
