The Department of Biochemistry

 A Brief History:

The Department of Biochemistry came into existence in the year 1995 and was attached to the Chemistry Department since then. Since its inception, the department has been imparting the highest level and quality of academic education. The services of the faculty members of Chemistry Department are also utilized on honorary basis during their leisure time so that their valuable suggestions help the incumbent staff and students. The students have the option to choose biochemistry with biotechnology & Microbiology (BtBMb) combination. The department has maintained a good academic standard and the results in the university examinations have been invariably excellent. This is the major aspect of attracting students from all over the country and abroad. After the college attained the autonomous status in 2009, the department has the academic flexibility in framing the syllabus and conducting examinations. The syllabus is periodically modified to accommodate advanced trendsin Biochemistry.
