  • About the Department:
Department of Microbiology started in 1980 for Under Graduate Course (B.Sc) and in 2007 Post Graduate Course (M.Sc) was started. Department now recognized as center of excellence in teaching and learning Microbiology with respect to undergraduate and post graduate studies in the central part of India. The department aims to stimulate an interest in the social and economic implications of Microbiology in society. The faculty in the department is well qualified with a pronounced academic and research experience. The research papers of faculty and students of the department published in peer reviewed national and international journals. The intake capacity of undergraduates is 100 and 22 for post-graduation. We have successfully completed five years UGC sponsored and R.T.M. Nagpur University, Nagpur recognized certificate course, career-oriented programme in Clinical Laboratory Technology. The same course is restarted from 2016 on Self finance basis with intake capacity of 40. In 2021 Post Graduate Diploma in Clinical Research has been started in collaboration with IICRM, Nagpur. Presently 25 students have registered for the course. Recently the department has been recognized as research center by R.T.M. Nagpur University, Nagpur. Department has well- equipped spacious laboratories for UG and PG with sophisticated instruments set ups, computers, and internet facility as well as departmental library.
