| Head of Department : Prof. S.K. Bhardwaj |
| The department of Zoology was established in 1977 to impart advance education at M.Sc., M.Phil. and Ph.D. level. Besides giving through grounding in basic Zoology, it lays emphasis on deep understanding of applied viz. Cell and Molecular Biology, Biochemistry, Physiology, Immunology, Genetics, Biotechnology,
Ecology and Animal behaviour. With a team of
well-qualified teachers, the department offers
three specialization's to the students they are
Parasitology, Fish Biology and Endocrinology.
In the duration of four semesters a P.G student
is offered different courses. The department
of Zoology has well equipped laboratories- Toxicology
Lab, Molecular Taxonomy Lab and Parasitology
Lab and Chronobiology Lab, research activities
are supported by funding agencies like UGC, AICTE,
DST, CSIR, and CST. Though the central library
caters the need of students, the department has
its own library. Research activities are supported
by national funding agencies. It has four independent
research laboratories. So far more than 100 students
have been awarded Ph.D degree. The department
has published about 200 research papers. A number
of students have occupied important positions
in India and abroad. |
| |
| Fields of Specialization: |
| Parasitology,
Fish Biology, Toxicology, Free Radical Biology,
Biomonitoring,
Immunoparasitology, Molecular Taxonomy, Animal
Behaviours, Photoperiodism, Plantnematology. |
| |
| Post-Graduate Course |
| M.Sc. (Zoology) has sixteen courses with specialization
in Parasitology, Fish Biology and Endocrinology.
M.Phil. Programme at M.Phil. level, efforts are
made to fully train students for higher education
and research. Besides four regular courses, a student
independently works on a research project. Thus
theoretical as well as practical training is offered
simultaneously. |
| |
| Ph.D. Program |
| The department pursues research in: Toxicology,
Parasitology, Animal Behaviour, Plant Nematology,
Immunoparasitology, Free Radical Biology, Fish
Biology, Molecular Taxonomy and Chronobiology. |
