The B.Sc. in Zoology at Pragjyotishpur University, aligned with NEP 2020, provides a holistic, skill-based, and multidisciplinary understanding of animal science. The programme is designed to move beyond rote learning — fostering critical thinking, research aptitude, and genuine employability.
Students may choose between a Major (Honours) pathway for in-depth scientific study and higher education, or a Minor pathway providing foundational principles and interdisciplinary breadth.
Provides in-depth, comprehensive knowledge in Zoology for students aiming for higher studies, scientific research, or specialised careers in life sciences.
Focuses on fundamental principles and basic functional skills in Zoology, acting as a bridge for interdisciplinary studies across biology, environment, and health sciences.
Impart foundational knowledge in diverse areas of animal science including physiology, genetics, cell biology, biochemistry, ecology, and evolution.
Develop an understanding of animal life forms — from invertebrates to chordates — covering systematics, structural complexity, organisation, and behaviour.
Equip students with identification skills for common invertebrates and vertebrates, lab techniques including histology, microscopy, biochemical and physiological tests, and statistical tools.
Foster an understanding of ecology and biodiversity to empower students to contribute to animal conservation and wildlife management.
Cultivate an awareness of ethical principles in animal handling, laboratory safety standards, and environmental responsibility.
Ability to classify animal groups and understand their evolutionary relationships.
Understanding of the cellular and biochemical basis of animal biology.
Acquisition of practical experience in laboratory settings through standard zoological techniques.
Capability to apply zoological knowledge to daily life and environmental issues.
Development of insight for scientific experimentation, data analysis, and report writing.
