Zoology Department

About the department

The Department of Zoology was established in 1969 as part of the science courses offered at the erstwhile Pre-Degree level. The B.Sc. Programme was introduced in 1977, followed by the launch of the M.Sc. Programme with Entomology as a specialisation in 2018. The department was upgraded to a Research Centre in 2020.

At present, the department has seven faculty members and two non-teaching staff. About 75% of the permanent faculty hold doctoral degrees, and three faculty members are recognised Research Guides of the University of Calicut. With a dedicated and enthusiastic team, the department continues to make significant progress in both academic excellence and research output. It is currently progressing towards formal recognition as a Research Department under the University of Calicut.

Over the years, alumni of the department have established themselves in diverse fields including academics, medicine, scientific research, social service, and other professional domains, bringing distinction to the institution.
