ABOUT THE DEPARTMENT
The Department of Microbiology was established in the college in the year 2019-20 with two UG course: Microbiology , Botany, and Zoology(MBZ), Microbiology, Zoology, Chemistry (MZC) . In 2020-21, new combinations have been introduced with Microbiology, Biotechnology, Zoology ( MBT Z), Microbiology, Applied nutrition, Zoology (MANZ), Microbiology, Biotechnology, Chemistry( MBTC) & Microbiology, Zoology, Computer science( MZCs),Microbiology, Applied nutrition, Chemistry(MANC) . In 2021-22 Microbiology with Psychology combination has also been introduced. Currently the department offers the above courses to 106 students.
The department works with high dedication and commitment towards overall development of the students. Student centric methodology is being adopted by the faculty to encourage the students in interactive and participative learning.
