| Department of Botany & Industrial Microbiology |
 |
Department
of Botany came in to existence in 1948 and the postgraduate classes
were started in the year 1956. The decades, which followed, were the
hay days for the growth of classic botany. With the change in the job
market scenario the vocational subjects were in great demand. So the
department introduced Microbiology and Biotechnology at the undergraduate
level in the year 1992 and 2005 respectively. The department follows
the syllabus prescribed by U.G.C. The department has separate labs for
all the subjects. The students of vocational subjects are assigned projects,
which bring them in contact with industry. The department has facilities
for research at the post post-graduate level. Field work and excursions
are part of the curriculum. |
| The
department has a museum and botanical garden with greenhouse. At the
UG level the department offers the following 5 combinations
1. Botany-Chemistry–Zoology. |
