Zoology

The job outlook for zoologists is good, with a predicted 13% increase in jobs over the next 8 years, so now is the perfect time to go become a zoologist. A zoologist is not simply an animal behavior expert, but also studies animal diseases, life process, reproduction, feeding habits, and the number of certain animals.Let me share the course details for LPU.The programme Zoology focus on the study of animals and their relation to all the diversified fields of science, technology and social aspects of human life. The programme is equipped with different pathways to give chance to the students with their choice so that they can excel in their life. The target is to generate skilled man power (teachers, researchers and others) in the subject of Zoology. The students are equipped with breadth and depth of subject knowledge so that they are able to pursue higher studies in different fields/specializations in Zoology. The students are made aware about the intricacies of interdisciplinary teaching and research, so that they can diversify and broaden their horizon in fundamental and applied research
Focus on application oriented teaching with live materials, models, pictures and videos. Projects for research understanding and its presentation to develop speaking skills. Hands on training. NET oriented curricula to provide better opportunities. Students are exposed to natural environment and diversity of fauna through yearly one Educational Tour. Well equipped Labs. Co- curricular activities. Participation in National and International Competitions. Placement Services Exposure to extra curricular activities. Guest lectures, Seminars. Achievements Students cleared NET Placements
So far the students are working in Universities and degree colleges for teaching and research. National institutes for research. Animal based industries such as Fisheries, Apiculture, Poultry Farms. Animal cloning centres, Biotechnology firms. Scientific publishers and biological supply houses. KPOs Acadecrafts IDS Infotech Banks Education Culture Schools GenPact OMIC etc.

Zoologist is an adventurous career. The demand for M.Sc. Zoology would never subside in India or worldwide because the boundaries of career options in zoology offered are extensive as mentioned below:
Academic researcher. Academic teacher. Ecologist. Media sector. Scientific writer. Animal nutritionist. Marine biologist. Environment consultants. However, one needs to understand that the scope is tightly integrated with the organisation from where you pursue your course bringing forth the right opportunities to you. Let me take LPU as an example to make you understand how curriculum streams your way to the career. The department's focus is on high-quality in-depth teaching with models, pictures, animations, and videos. Thorough lab training and Dissertations/Projects, Excursion trip, Sophisticated interface for continuous evaluation of students progress. The salient features of the course are :-
Projects for research understanding and its presentation to develop speaking skills. Hands on training. NET oriented curricula to provide better opportunities. Students are exposed to natural environment and diversity of fauna through yearly one Educational Tour. Well-equipped Labs. Co- curricular activities. Participation in National and International Competitions. Placement Services
Exposure to extra curricular activities. Guest lectures, Seminars. The career prospects include :Teaching in College, high schools, Junior/senior research fellow, Research posts in Tissue culture labs, Animal biologists work on administrative posts in museums, zoological gardens, Self Employed (Establishing animal based small industries) etc. I hope the information helps.
