Biological Sciences

The Department of Biological Sciences came into being in 1969, when the institute merged the Botany and the Zoology Departments. We provide quality education to our students by encouraging them to engage with industry and involve themselves in research driven projects. Our strong research focus led to founding the Centre for Biotechnology in association with the Departments of Biology, Pharmacy, Chemistry and Computer Sciences. This Centre is actively funded and supported technically by Uniformed Services University of Health Sciences, Bethesda, Maryland, USA.

Physics

Our faculty have interests in varied fields ranging from experimental to theoretical aspects of condensed matter physics, optics, spectroscopy, image processing, and field theory and quantum computation. This enables us to offer our students guidance in research projects across these diverse topics.

Besides teaching the regular courses and guiding our students in their projects and thesis, one of our priorities is to disseminate the knowledge we gather through research by organising internal seminars. We also invite distinguished people from industry and other academic institutions regularly to the campus for interaction with our students and faculty.
