The department of Biological Sciences was established in 1972. During this time, the department has developed the capability to provide teaching and research facilities in a number of contemporary disciplines of biology.
           The department is well equipped with modern research facilities. It is one of the largest centers for research in biological sciences among all the Universities of the country.
           Laboratory Facilities include two Microcomputer Laboratories, network based on Novell NetWare and Unix, connected to University network via Sparc-5 based workstation. Access to Internet became available in November 1996 and two IBM  AS/400 systems in University Computer Centre are also available for student work.
