Prospect:

  1. Many students pursue higher studies and complete their Post-Graduation in zoology, Environment science and also few of them got Doctoral Degree.
  2. Some other students have completed B. Ed & CT training courses and employed in various government and non-government schools.
  3. A lot of students of our department are presently serving in various govt. and private sectors, such as banking, Railways, postal, health care, police, defence, management, mass media and financial sectors.

Future Plan

  1. To conduct more departmental seminars, interdepartmental talks, group discussions, etc.
  2. To maintain good synergy between teachers & students
  3. To make students aware about the prospect of opting zoology as Honours Courses.
  4. Most of the students of this college come from a heterogeneous socio-economic background, so, they should properly be guided to go for B. Ed & other training to get them-selves an early employment.
  5. A guidance and counselling cell is to be formed for the all round development of personality of the individual students.
