faculties. b) Weaknesses –

• Around fifty per cent of the teaching load is managed through the appointment of temporary teaching staff.

• Due to poor Internet connectivity students and teachers face problem very often.

• Due to poor maintenance of the building there is seepage of water during the rainy season which damages the structure as well as furniture and fans etcetera.

c) Opportunities – As the faculty has varied expertise, multidisciplinary research is possible and is being conducted at present.

d) Challenges – Lack of infrastructure, like class room, laboratory and reading room space, is the major challenge to accommodate the increasing number of students in the discipline.

52. Future plans of the department. To introduce an one year PG Diploma Course in “Climate Change and Geo-informatics”.

Strengths 1. Exhaustive syllabus covering almost all life science topics over and

above classical Zoology 2. Experienced senior teachers and young teachers working together 3. 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 **********

Visiting Industry professionals give our students the practical approach to the various theoretical aspects learnt. Dedicated professors and eager student’s works as an ideal combination for information generation. Excellent placements top multinational companies. Weakness: Hindrance in development of department due to weak financial aid from government, which also causes higher tuition fee structure. Opportunities: The economic growth of country largely depends on technological improvements and on its scientific and technical manpower. 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.

of the dept. Strengths:

Excellent course structure and the introduction of new subjects and electives from the second year itself. The department attracts the cream of the students, they are not only academically brilliant. Visiting Industry professionals give our students the practical approach to the various theoretical aspects learnt. Dedicated professors and eager student’s works as an ideal combination for information generation. Excellent placements top multinational companies. Weakness: Hindrance in development of department due to weak financial aid from government, which also causes higher tuition fee structure. Opportunities: The economic growth of country largely depends on technological improvements and on its scientific and technical manpower. 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.
