The Department of Zoology is a multidisciplinary academic hub covering Genetics, Physiology, Ecology, Developmental Biology, Microbiology, Parasitology, Entomology, Evolution, Taxonomy, Freshwater Biology, Fisheries, and Wildlife. Our curriculum builds strong foundations in organismal diversity and the interrelationships that structure biological systems, with attention to conservation and sustainable resource use.

Teaching emphasizes inquiry and application—field exposure, data organization and interpretation, and evidence-based thinking that links laboratory understanding with practical solutions. Students learn why zoological knowledge matters for human resource development, environmental stewardship, and poverty alleviation through better planning and management of animal and ecosystem resources.

By graduation, students are able to: (1) explain major disciplines of Zoology and the principles that govern animal diversity and biological organization; (2) apply methods of exploration, investigation, data organization, and real-life utilization; (3) pursue advanced studies in emerging, multidisciplinary domains such as Genetic Engineering, Biodiversity, Environmental Science, Wildlife Conservation, Fisheries & Aquaculture, Pest Management, and Biotechnology; (4) plan and manage animal resources, environment, health, agriculture, and population issues more effectively; and (5) demonstrate a scientific culture and professional skills suited to teaching, research, and managerial roles in national and international organizations.
