Department Of Microbiology
Introduction
The department of Microbiology was started in 1984-85. The department has good student strength. The main aim of the microbiology department is to make the study of microbiology popular, interesting and encouraging to the students for higher studies including research. The faculty help the students to make them knowledgeable with respect to the subject and its practicable applicability. The students are prepared for further studies, helping in their bright career in the subject. The faculty makes use of ICT in teaching. Industrial visits are made to expose the students to practical aspects of the subject in Industries.
