In the College of Basic Sciences our endeavour has been to provide the students an opportunity to strike a healthy balance between curricular and co-curricular activities. The highly qualified teaching faculty is committed to fulfill our commitment to generate knowledgeable society by imparting quality teaching and providing sustainable research support.

Today the College of Basic Sciences constitutes four departments, namely, Department of Biology and Environmental Sciences, Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry, Department of Microbiology, Department of Physical Sciences and Languages and a Center of Geo-informatics Research and Training. The college provides undergraduate (Medical and Non-medical), postgraduate (M. Sc. in the disciplines of Biology, Biochemistry, Environmental Sciences, and Microbiology ) and Ph.

Students are also encouraged to participate actively in sports, athletics, literary and other intra and inter University co-curricular activities. The faculty and the students also involve themselves in various National and State programmes organized at the college and University level. Organization of National Science Day, World Environment Day, Earth Day, Communal Harmony Week, and Teacher's Day are some of the regular features of the College.
