A full-time degree course is conducted in the department with Chemistry and Biological Techniques as subsidiaries. A well-equipped laboratory with all required specimens and equipment is part of the department facilities. Along with their regular classroom learning and practical work, students also do a supervised project work. Every year they are taken on a study tour to places/institutions of scientific importance with a view to improving their scientific/research aptitude and skills. Research programme (Ph.D) in Zoology is also available in the department.
Zoology department conducts seminars, science exhibitions, blood grouping, video shows, slide shows etc. in connection with students-oriented scientific activities. Students actively participate in various extra-curricular activities. Students are interested and involved in the social and environmental matters of their communities, too.
The Science Exhibition conducted in 2003 and the survey done during 2002- 2003 on the Plastic Waste Disposal in Mananathavady Punchayath received much appreciation and contributed considerably to making the public aware of the concerned issues.
This Department strives to create an environment that enables teaching and research to attain high levels of excellence and in which its members can achieve their full potential.
The survey on the Plastic Waste Disposal in Mananathavady Panchayath received much appreciation and contributed considerably to making the public aware of the concerned issues.
