In the past decade there has been a widespread incorporation of Information & communication technology (ICT) in different tiers of academics as well as in the global scientific structure. The Department of zoology is encouraging its students and teachers to access and utilize these new developing technologies. Through the web-based students Information System (SIS) of our college, all student-related data pertaining to assignments, attendance, tests etc., are being made available online.

The zoological society of the department known as 'ZOON' conducts seminars, webinars, workshops, educational field trips and various extra-curricular activities throughout the year.

The life Sciences Society 'GENESIS' comprising students of the BSc (P) life Sciences, is an equally dynamic and vibrant society that organises excursions, lectures, webinars, panel discussions, competitions etc.
