Botany is a branch of the natural science dealing with the study of plant life. The study introduces students to the interesting and complexities of the structure, function and relationship of plants. An essential background to this study is the opening up of the vast knowledge of plants evolutionary history, life structure, functions and relationship by integrating knowledge from molecular level to the whole of unicellular and multicellular organism. And that this knowledge being principally integrated and supported with practical and field work provides valuable skills. Exposure programme including field study, poster presentation, seminars, research projects, visits related institution, etc. for proper understanding of the function of systems is an important activity of the department. Specialized courses in Tissue Culture, Angiospermic Taxonomy and Ethanobotany are offered by the department.

Chemistry is a centre science based on experimental facts that are concerned with the knowledge of natural world, discoveries, ideas, inventions and experiments that significantly change human’s understanding of modern science. The knowledge of chemistry in areas such as environmental control, toxicology, pharmacy, food science, nutrition, ocean as a sourced of raw materials, biochemical process, new source of energy, new novel materials etc. is of paramount importance of humanity. More theories developed and more applications are found, that are indication that chemistry continues to grow as an intellectual discipline in areas of research leading to many development. Many events considered centre to our modern understanding of chemistry are also considered by discoveries in such field as physics, biology, astronomy, geology, material science to name a few.

Geology is a field-oriented, scientific discipline, which investigates the properties of the earth, its substances, shapes, processes and history. The course of the Under Graduate (BSc.) level of this multi-disciplinary subject is designed to impart sound theoretical and practical knowledge to the students about minerals (mineralogy), rocks (petrology), the structure of the Earth (structural geology), volcanic phenomena (volcanology), landforms and the processes that produce them (geomorphology and glaciology), study of fossils (palaeontology) and the development of sedimentary strata (stratigraphy). The course also encompasses the study of natural hazards like earthquakes, volcanoes, landslides and floods. Since geology is related to environment, a large portion will be taught outdoors. So, field works form an integral part of the degree programme. It may include collection of geologic data, constructing a measured section, interpreting geologic structures and geologic mapping.

Scope:

By studying geology, one can become a Marine geologist, Petrologist, Mineralogist, Geohydrologist, Hydrologist, Palaeontologist and Seismologist among others.

Recruiter:

Geological Survey of India, Central Ground Water Board, ONGC, Bharat Petroleum Corporation Limited, Mineral Exploration Authority, Indian Space Research Organisation, Private Companies dealing with Mineral Explorations, etc. 

Mathematics is as old as civilization itself and is one of the most useful and fascinating branches of human knowledge. Broadly, Mathematics is the study of quantity, structure and change. Mathematics is an essential tool for nearly all scientific studies. Scientists use it in designing experiments, analyzing data, expressing precisely their findings by mathematical formulae, and making predictions on the basis of these findings. Both physical sciences and biological sciences rely heavily on mathematics. Social Sciences, Economics, Psychology and Sociology also depend greatly on Statistics and several other branches of mathematics.

Physics deals with everything in physical universe from mega scale to micro scale which includes structure of the universe to atoms. Physics is also the basis of all modern technological advancements in various fields. The study of theoretical physics, quantum mechanics, relativity, etc. are based on highly abstract thoughts and calculations whereas mechanics, electricity, thermodynamics, solid state physics, electronics, nuclear physics, etc. are the bases of modern technology. Our course is the balanced mixture different branches of physics which has both theoretical and applied perspectives. Students can have introduction to research field through research projects.

Zoology as a discipline introduces students to the complexities of animal system by integrating knowledge from biology of cells to the behaviour of the whole organisms. Students will get to know about animal behaviour, reproduction, physiology, biochemistry, endocrinology, immunology, genetics, wildlife and its conservation, taxonomy, biotechnology, bio-informatics, parasitology, biophysics, ecology, fishery, etc. All these combined with practical work, fieldwork, projects, seminars, debate and workshop provide valuable information and skills that will help them to make a career of their choice.
