The department of Zoology was established in 1979 providing an integrated learning experience in the field of zoology in the form of a Bachelor's degree. With time the department offered a postgraduate course in zoology with a specialization in Animal physiology. The department started a club called Coenozoo to encourage students and inculcate innovation in science. Coenozoo organizes talks, seminars and quizzes for UG and PG students of the department. The Zoology department of Bhavan’s college highly encourages research by offering Phd courses. The teachers of this department are highly knowledgeable and renowned in their specialized subject. Around 80% of the teachers are doctorates. The teaching staff inspire the students to conduct research and develop a scientific attitude.
The department believes in a versatile and integrated mode of teaching using standard methods like chalk and board along with the use of teaching aids, presentations and various softwares. The teachers are highly updated with the latest innovations in science and research. Active learning methods like hands-on training, projects, and assignments are emphasized. The department is also well equipped with a departmental library which contains books on various topics like biochemistry, genetics, physiology among others.
The main aim of the department is to develop core values of life, science education and along with respect for the subject of zoology among students and prepare them for their future endeavors.
Since it is not always feasible to visit any place with a large no. of students, the eminent personalities from the various scientific organizations are invited under the organization "coenozoo." This enables the students to get the proper information via direct interaction with the resource person. It helps them to decide about their career in Zoology in future
