Our students have been well placed in research, academics and other areas. We continuously arrange workshops, seminars, guest lectures and demonstrations for our students. This has helped them groom their career. The faculty also remains consistently engaged in conferences and seminars, both nationally and internationally, and have achieved recognition and awards in these events. Quality teaching, good infrastructure and shining results have acquired our department very good name in students. This is reflected by demand for B. Sc. admissions in large numbers. We have a strong alumni association who are our asset and a continuous help and support for us.
