Department of Biological Sciences

The Department of Biological Sciences is one of the oldest and most active Department of the College of Basic Sciences. Our mission is to achieve excellence in our scholarly pursuits and in our teaching and training of undergraduate and postgraduate students. The programs are designed to meet the needs of students with a variety of career goals. The curriculum is rigorous and provides a background in critical thinking, research, and communications skills. Field trips are a common feature of some classes. Our postgraduate majors have successfully entered careers in the life sciences in public, private and non-profit organizations. The department offers academic programs leading to a Bachelor of Science (B.Sc.), Master of Science (M.Sc.), and Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D.) degree. There are approximately hundred undergraduate and fifty postgraduate students in the department engaged in study in a variety of areas of the biological sciences. Teaching laboratories provide extensive student experience with living organisms and experimental equipment. Laboratory sections are kept small to ensure student interaction with teaching staff.

Department of Physics


The Department of Physics was established with a vision for Excellence in Physics Education. Now we have Bachelors degree programs and postgraduate programs including M. Phil and Doctorial program. At the department of Physics we emphasize on student learning by way of discussion, question answer and dialogue.
Practical learning is encouraged by conducting a series of experiments in laboratory. The labs are fairly well equipped.
Library is the heartthrob of any learning system and we are maintaining a departmental Library where students are encouraged to spend as much time as they can. We subscribe to about fifteen journals in addition to the Seminars form part of the teaching learning process where current topics are discussed. Exhibitions give a platform to the students to express what they have learnt.

Field trips play an important role in giving a first hand experience of the application of Physics on a large scale, such as thermal power plants/Nuclear power plants. Besides this these trips help in the social life of the department, when student and teachers are able to move with each other like friends.
We have a well-qualified and active faculty.

Department of Chemistry

Amongst the basic sciences, chemistry concerns itself with composition properties, constitutions and mutual interaction of different kinds of matter. The 21st century is regarded as an active era of chemistry and is of great importance. New plastic, synthetic rubber, novel metal alloys, synthetic vitamins, antibiotics, steroids, dyes, fertilizers etc. have revolutionized the science and technology.
Time is moving fast and so is science. With the advent of computer, information technology, it is important to keep pace with it. With the adoption of the new slogan. “Jai Vigyan” there should be a laying emphasis on science at all stages of education and sincere and consistent efforts on the part of teachers and planners of chemical education in the country to improve the chemistry teaching. With this motto the department with its professional expertise in the field of physical, organic, analytical, dairy, polymer, engineering chemistry endeavour to structure its teaching and research.

The courses offered cover fundamental concepts, principles and adopt advanced techniques, which provide the students of undergraduate, postgraduate & doctoral levels a quality education. The chemistry department offers courses to the students of all engineering branches, biotechnology, agriculture, home science etc. Thus, the department with its experienced faculty, impart relevant training to the young to develop their expertise, research ability and professionalism.
