They also participate in various inter-college competitions and win prizes. Our research scholars also present papers in seminars and conferences and have won best paper awards. First week of October is celebrated as wild life week every year with competitions. Students from all other departments also participate and get prizes. In this way awareness is created about wild life and their importance. Apart from this, association meetings are also conducted, inviting renowned speakers. Many National Seminars are organized by our department. A Biannual magazine “ZOODOC” is prepared and our students contribute much to it. Zoologists may work in a variety of settings including universities, research institutes, museums, zoos, aquariums and government agencies.
