B.Sc.-Zoology - St. Aloysius College Institutions

The dimensions of Biology are fast growing with more and more emphasis is being given to Cell Biology, Molecular Biology, Genetics, Biochemistry, and Physiology, Biotechnology Bioinformatics and modern tools and techniques. It is, therefore, important that the students of Biological Science of Degree classes are kept fully informed of the contemporary trends in the various fields of Biology such as Environment, Agriculture, Medicine, Veterinary science and Industrial applications. Many Indian Universities have already introduced some topics of the disciplines in their undergraduate syllabi. The importance of basic Zoology however cannot be ignored. Most teachers and researchers rightly feel the need for a strong base in general aspects of Zoology as a prerequisite for all the fields of specialization. Therefore teaching of basic science subjects along with the modern subjects with their passion for human welfare will always remain as one of the noblest pursuits of man. To achieve their objectives, Department of Zoology, St. Aloysius College has designed the curriculum in Zoology for under graduate students as per the direction and guidelines of UGC and on par with the Aloysian ideals.

Objectives:

To acquire a knowledge of bio-diversity of fauna.
To provide opportunities to develop skills by participating in seminars, group discussions, setting of experiments and preparation of models, student outreach programme, hosting and organizing exhibitions, holding intercollegiate competitions, etc
To provide opportunities to take up individual projects where they have to collect data, discuss, interpret and report on the finding so that learners will fit in for employment.
To provide opportunities to learn skills in basic research techniques.
train the students to apply their knowledge and skills in their day to day life and to make them fit for employment.

Vision of the Department:

To expose every student of B.Sc. Degree course with Zoology as one of the optional subjects to various experiences and develop scientific attitude in him/her. To enable him/her to acquire skills necessary to take up scientific experiments and projects, train them to face problems and issues of life with fortitude
