Experienced faculty and affordable learning.
Placements: At this university, the average placement rate for Zoology students is only 55%. The placement is not that great or the primary focus but the learning is, although there are wildlife research and environment management opportunities that are provided to the students.
Infrastructure: The department has laboratories for research in fields like cytogenetics, microbiology, wildlife Biology and animal physiology. The library has various things related to the course. There are different hostel accommodation options that one can choose from.
Faculty: The exams are a bit difficult with a pass rate of 60 and the study covers various aspects of Zoology, including theoretical and practical components. Though a bit more industry relevancy can be added with a regular set-up of industry people, which is lacking,.
