Course Overview

About BSc in Zoology Course

Built around Zoology, BSc in Zoology is a 3-year on-campus programme covering living systems, from cells and micro-organisms to whole ecosystems in 6 planned semesters.

Teaching combines classroom sessions with microscopy and staining practice, culture and specimen handling and titration and analysis labs, so what you learn in theory is immediately practised. You finish with BSc Degree and a record of work you can show to an employer or a university.

The value of BSc in Zoology

  • A single clear subject focus: Zoology, studied properly for 3 years rather than spread thin.
  • Practical work every semester — microscopy and staining practice, culture and specimen handling and titration and analysis labs — so you can show what you can do, not only what you studied.
  • Subject choices that stay relevant: Physics, Chemistry and Mathematics.
  • A degree from a UGC-recognised state private university, valid for employment and for further study.
  • Small campus, direct access to faculty, and daily classroom support at Namchi, Sikkim.

What you will be able to do

  • Handle laboratory equipment and samples correctly in the context of Zoology.
  • Run standard biological tests and record results in the context of Zoology.
  • Interpret experimental data in the context of Zoology.
  • Write a structured scientific report in the context of Zoology.
  • Complete a Zoology project or internship and present it to faculty.
Career preparation

Resume writing, communication and interview practice are part of the programme, aimed at the roles BSc in Zoology graduates actually apply for.

Namchi campus

Classes for Zoology run on the Namchi campus at Assangthang, with classrooms, library and laboratory facilities on site.

Faculty access

Batch sizes stay small enough that Zoology faculty know each student, review project work individually and are reachable outside class hours.

Practice-led teaching

microscopy and staining practice, culture and specimen handling and titration and analysis labs are scheduled into the timetable, not added on. Assessment runs continuously through the semester.
