Zoology Laboratory & Museum
The Zoology Laboratory Museum serves as a vibrant centre for teaching, learning, and research, supporting the academic programmes of the Department. Housing more than 500 meticulously preserved specimens representing all major animal groups—from simple invertebrates to advanced vertebrates—the museum provides students with an invaluable opportunity to study animal diversity, morphology, and taxonomy firsthand. A full human skeleton, along with an array of scientific and anatomical models, enhances conceptual understanding and facilitates comparative study across taxa.
The adjoining laboratory is well equipped to support practical sessions, student projects, and basic research activities. Major instruments include a spectrophotometer, high-quality compound microscopes, centrifuge, electrophoretic apparatus, incubator, and hot-air oven. Facilities for applied studies are also available, such as a honey-comb extractor and an assortment of biochemicals for physiological and biochemical experiments. Together, the laboratory and museum form a dynamic academic space that nurtures scientific curiosity, strengthens practical skills, and promotes hands-on learning in zoological sciences.
