M.Sc. in Zoology (2 Years)

Level

PG (Intake: 40)

Course Information

The candidate must pass the Bachelor’s degree examination with minimum 50% in Zoology at T. Y. B.Sc. and Zoology as one of the combinations. The M.Sc. in Zoology programme is a two-year course divided into four-semester. A student is required to complete 94 credits for the completion of course and the award of degree. In the 1^st Semester itself only, a student has to choose one subject-based elective paper, and a student has also to choose an open elective from other interdisciplinary department of their interest. During the fourth semester, a student is only engaged in an internship, a Major project and a study tour, without any coursework papers.

Course Information

The Department of Zoology offers a Ph.D. (Doctor of Philosophy) program for qualified scholars interested in conducting research. All candidates must adhere to the guidelines to fulfil the requirements of the University and the University Grants Commission (UGC) Ph.D. Program. Over the years, the department has expanded the research activities leading to emergence of research groups in different fields viz., Limnology, Reproductive Biology, Endocrinology, Developmental Biology, Environmental Biology, Entomology etc.

12 Research scholars pursuing their research in the areas of Environmental Biology, Reproductive Biology and Toxicology, Limnology and Entomology.
