Department of Zoology

was established in 1965. A modern and thorough knowledge of Zoology is imparted to M.Sc students along with four specialization, which is at par to many central University. Researches are being carried out in different fields viz.fish morpho-anatomy, Toxicology, Biochemistry, Ecology, reproductive biology, Cytogenetics and Karyo-systematics effect of herbal products on reproductive physiology, hematology and genotoxicity etc.
Every year some students qualify in the NET/JRF exam.& work as Research scholar in the department. Students of this department are working in different institutes/department in different capacities.
