Equal importance to lab based and field based research. 4. Success in winning appreciable grants for research in all areas 5. Undergraduate course structure as an appropriate stepping stone for aspirants of Biotechnology, Biochemistry, Microbiology and allied sciences. Weaknesses 1. Small strength of teaching staff in proportion to the number of students being tutored. 2. Very limited scope of expansion/upgradation of infrastructure in existing premises. 3. Low success rate of students in competitive exams like CSIR-UGC NET and GATE. 4. Removal of dissections by UGC from curriculum has reduced the charm of anatomy practicals. Opportunities 1. A recent increase in number of applicants for M.Sc. Zoology point towards a renewal of interest in this field. 2. Research collaborations within institutes and with other institutes have been established lately, which promise good quality publications. 3. Large increase in number of researchers presenting at international conferences opens up doors post-doc research at renowned institutes. 4. Designing a digital dissection lab for anatomy practicals. Challenges 1. Increasing number of students in recent years is a challenge to cater to the current infrastructure. 2. Increase in competition nationally for availing research grants from funding agencies. 52. Future plans of the department. 1. Plan to improve the infrastructure by attracting funds from SAP, FIST etc. 2. Initiate remedial classes for differentially-abled students 3. Modernization of class room infrastructure 4. Encourage more interdisciplinary collaborations within and outside the institute **********

Diploma holders therefore play a crucial role for development of skilled manpower as required by various sectors in the country’s economy.The students are given complete exposure to all the current technologies. Opportunities are provided to be recruited by top most companies in order to assure a secured future. Challenges: The faculty has faced major challenges, and undergone major transformations, in the nature and scope of their mission, their governance as an institution the knowledge they produce and their relations with the wider economy and society.

52 Future plans of the department. • Upgrade syllabus as per the current technology upgradation on a regular basis. • Provide Exposure to our students for various programmes that are held in other colleges in India and abroad. • Attract more companies to provide on campus recruitment. • Conduct seminars/workshops to keep them updated with the technology.
