Museum

Department has a big Zoological Museum which is a major boon that contains a wide range of rare animal specimens for invertebrates and vertebrate studies. It has all specimens to have practical knowledge and hands on study of biodiversity, evolutionary biology and developmental biology.

The systematic catalogue of all the specimens, mounted animals and slides are maintained and regularly updated. The museum has a collection of more than 300 Zoological Specimens from the entire animal kingdom. It has an extensive collection of skeletons and bones for osteological studies. It has also a vast collection of microscopic slides for entomological studies, developmental biology and histological studies.
