Department of Zoology

Department of Zoology
Also known as Animal Biology, the Department of Zoology was established in August 2013 with the inception of the Bachelor of Science (Biology Group) program, affiliated with the University of Lucknow, Lucknow. The study of Zoology focuses on the kingdom Animalia and covers their classification, habits and habitats, structure, physiology, evolution, and development. It also explores ecology and ecosystems.

The department aims to provide a strong foundation in Zoology through quality teaching and hands-on training, enhancing students’ practical and experimental skills. To provide real-world exposure, the department organizes educational tours to animal parks, dairy industries, sericulture units, fisheries, poultry farms, field trips, and various CSIR institutes in Lucknow.

The primary objective of the department is to impart quality education in Zoology and its applied branches. It emphasizes ethical and professional practices relevant to the field. Students of Zoology have promising career opportunities in teaching (lectureships), research, forest and wildlife conservation, competitive examinations, animal care, forensic medicine, pest control, and animal supply chains.

After completing a degree in Zoology, students can pursue postgraduate studies or even start small-scale industries, such as poultry farming.
