The Department was University Centre for PG lectures from 1986 to 2018. The teacher of the department use conventional and computer aided pedagogical methods to make learning easy and effective. Research is an integrated part in the department of Zoology. Several research projects have been computed by the staff and students. Ongoing research projects are funded by DBT, govt. of India. Faculty members as well as graduate and postgraduate students of the department publish their research work in various international and national journals. The faculty members regularly organize and also attend workshops/conferences/seminars.

Specialized instruments like micropipettes, occulometer, salinometer etc. are made available for regular practicals as well as UG and PG research projects. The UG lab has 3 desktops which are used for biostatistics and bioinformatics practicals for UG and PG students. It is also used by PG students for their project work and seminar preparation. The laboratory also has a well-maintained museum of preserved specimens which are bar coded. This enables viewing of specimen information by scanning the barcode via mobile application. This helps in catering to curiosity of inquisitive students.
