Department of Biological Science & Biotechnology
Department of Biological Sciences and Biotechnology deals with the study of living things.The primary scientific approach to the teaching of the Biological Sciences adopted by the Department is an essential vehicle for the acquisition, by each student, of a personal and mature outlook in the handling of evidences and careful inferences from experimental data.
The Department offers three Bachelor Degree programmes viz:
• Microbiology and Industrial Biotechnology
• Plants Science and Biotechnology
• Zoology and Aquaculture
In the various programmes, the aims of the learning process are served by judicious use of laboratory and field work and exercises in problem analysis. In our undergraduate programmes, the student’s achievement is assessed by in-course assignments, tests, and formal examinations designed to confirm that the student can recall relevant information but can also apply it to the analysis of problems.
At the end of the Microbiology programmes, the student will have a sound knowledge of fundamental cell and molecular biology and its application to biotechnology.
