Description
Department of Biological Sciences comprises of Microbiology, Biotechnology, Zoology and Environmental Sciences.
SVDC offers two B.Sc. courses in Biological Sciences – Mi.Bi.C.(Microbiology, Biochemistry and Chemistry) and Bt.Z.C. (Biotechnology, Zoology and Chemistry).Mi.Bi.C. Course was started in 1997 and Bt.Z.C. in 2003. In 1997, the strength of the students was 30 and now the strength of the students is more than 250.
The subjects offered in the Dept. of Biological Sciences undoubtedly are major fields of Sciences and pave way to pursue a career in Research, Medicine, Food and Cosmetic Industries, Pharmaceutical and Biotech Industries, Agriculture Sciences, Veterinary Sciences, Clinical Research, Immunology, Reproductive Biology, Genetic Engineering, Bioinformatics, Neurobiology, Molecular Biology, Drug and Chemical Industries, etc. By the end of the course, students will have broad understanding of Biological Sciences and specialization in the chosen area. The students can develop strong practical skills and a number of transferrable skills including the ability to collect and analyze the data, and could able to communicate effectively and confidently.
Vastly experienced faculty nurtures the students from the grass root level. The faculty plays a pivotal role in encouraging, training and helping the students to prepare for their higher studies. State of Art Laboratories in SVDC helps the students to have hands on experience in various techniques.
