CBCS System

The curriculum of Bachelor of Science Bio(General) is fine tuned with the present day academics and professional need and is designed in such a way that the students will not be stressed while learning the basic concepts of Zoology and progressively enrich to higher Zoology syllabus. The aim of the syllabus is to provide students wider career opportunities.. This is inter-disciplinary as well which ensures competence to the students to win challenges within the Discipline of Biology.

The students of Sem-I will now gain knowledge on how to identify and understand the animal diversity through their characters and classification.

As a part of practical, Sem-I students will be provided with various non-chordates and chordates to study their morphology and will also get to know about dissecting specimen.

In the Sem-II, students will learn about the physiological aspects of different vertebrates and will also know about the evolutionary patterns of heart and kidney in vertebrates. To change the palate, basics of embryology has been added to the syllabus.

As a part of practical, they will learn about osteology, various non-chordate larval stages and embryological slides in sync with the theory syllabus.

In the Sem-III, students will get acquainted with physiology and biochemistry. They will understand the biochemistry of metabolism as well as structure and working mechanism of various physiological systems. A punch of basic endocrinology is there to make the study more interesting.

Practical of this semester takes care to impart knowledge about the organization of organs in tissue level combined with a qualitative biochemical test.

Coming to Sem-IV, students will study the genetics & evolutionary biology. These include Mendelian Genetics, linkage, crossing over, mutation and sex determination. In the evolution chapter, they will deal with oigin of life, theoris on the evolution and evolutionary changes.

The practical syllabus is very much in sync with the genetics of the theory syllabus by adding the biostatistical angle along with an extension in evolutionary concept. Most interestingly, an educational tour to the natural history museum has been recommended to make a whole learning experience enjoyable and memorable for life.

In Sem-V, Applied Zoology: will deal with host and parasite, epidemiology of diseases, parasitic protozoa, parasitic helminthes, insect of economic importance, insect of medical importance, animal husbandry, poultry farming and fishery. The practical will be totally in relation to the theory syllabus. An excursion to a poultry farm or animal breeding centre is included which will provide a thorough insight about the outcome of applied zoology.

Syllabus of Sem-VI will deal entirely about various insects and their role of disease vectors. This section is of utmost importance in this pandemic-stressed society because it says everything about all those bothersome sicknesses caused by insect vectors and how to deal with them.

Skill Enhancement Elective Courses (SEC)

These courses are designed exclusively keeping in mind the vocational aspects after graduation.

Sericulture and Medical Diagnosis are two of them which ensure both entrepreneurship and employment. Students can work or self employ with sericulture having in grip whereas medical diagnosis, which has always been a preference among bio general students after passing out, will help them immensely by getting trained within the stipulated tenure of graduation and grab the employment opportunities just after passing out in the lucrative field of pathology, radiology etc.
