About the Department:

Conception and expansion: The Department of Microbiology was established in the year 2017 in combination with Zoology and Chemistry (MZC) departments to cater to the needs of the local girl students at the undergraduate level. The department was later extended in combination with Computer Sciences as MZCs and MCCs groups under Choice Based Credit System (CBCS).

B.Sc. Microbiology, Zoology, Chemistry (MZC)

B.Sc. Microbiology, Zoology, Computer Sciences (MZCs)

B.Sc. Microbiology, Chemistry, Computer Sciences (MCCs)

Significance of the Field: The Department of Microbiology is dedicated to the study of microorganisms, including bacteria, viruses, fungi, and parasites. Microorganisms, the “invisible task force”, drive the fundamental processes on which all life on earth depends.  We are born into a world dominated by microorganisms and their activities are central to human welfare. As a consequence, we have innumerable intimate microbial associations; many enhance our lives, some are essential to our very existence, while others present us with potentially lethal challenges. Finding solutions to many of our pressing global challenges, such as skyrocketing antimicrobial resistance, emergence of new infectious diseases, and the health of our planet’s ecosystems, will depend upon discoveries from basic microbiology research.
