History

The department was established in the year 1988. This was a huge boost for the Biological Science Unit of the College. The first faculty was recruited in 1989. Primary objective of the department was to break the popular parlance that departments of Evening Colleges are no match to their Day College Counterparts. Keeping the above perspective in vision, the department envisaged further- the progression was slow yet steady- quality students passing out every year.

Maintaining the tempo of upliftment along with a farsight, the department succeeded in introducing Honours Stream in Physiology in the year 2007. This achievement was pleasing -to overcome a path strewn with barriers of all sorts and stature. However even tougher challenges lay ahead. If opening the Honours Section was strenuous, its sustenance was even more an upheaval task with stiff competition from Physiology Departments of neighboring colleges- particularly from Evening Colleges in the same locality established way back. Despite all constraints, nine Honours Batches have passed out in flying colours from 2010-2018.

Infact our student Debopriyo Mukherjee has secured First Position (First Class First) in the B.Sc. Hons. Examination of University of Calcutta in the year 2018.
