Teaching of Biology up to Intermediate level in Science College was started in 1941. Teaching of Zoology B.Sc. (Pass) and B.Sc. (Honours) started in 1945 and 1948 respectively. M.Sc. Teaching started in 1948. The Department of Zoology, Patna University was established in 1948 and till 1952 it was a part of Science College, Patna and later on in July 1952 it got the status of University Department. The Department is housed in the Ground Floor of the Biology Building of Science College.

The University Department has one Air Conditioned Lecture Theatre and two M.Sc. Laboratories (one for M.Sc. Part-I and other for Part-II). The classes M.Sc. Part-I (both theory and practical) are held in Part-I laboratory whereas Part-II theory classes are held in the Lecture theatre and practical classes in M. Sc. Part-II laboratory. Department Library, Electron Microscope Laboratory, Dark room, Museum, Store and Research laboratories of Physiology and Biochemistry, Cytology and Environmental Biology are located in the same building. The Departmen of Zoology, Science College has one Lecture theatre, one undergraduate laboratory, one Honours laboratory, as well as a Store.

In late seventies an Annex Building known as New Biology Building came into existence. The University Department of Zoology also occupies the ground floor of the building. The Research Laboratories of Fish and Fisheries, Entomology, Parasitology and Cell and Molecular Biology besides a Seminar Hall are located in this Building. Each laboraory has an adjancent chamber for the respective faculty members. Besides this the Department provides Chamber for each faculty member in old Biology Building and New Biology Building.

The University Department imparts teaching for M.Sc. degree in Zoology. The students are offered specialized teaching in four different fields of Zoology, namely Cell and Molecular Biology, Entomology, Environmental Biology, and Fish and Fisheries. Facilities are also available for research in various fields of Zoology leading to Ph.D. and D.Sc. degree. The department has well equipped Physiology and Biochemistry lab, Cell and Molecular Biology lab, Entomology, and Environmental Biology laboratory. Some of the important equipment available are Gas Liquid Chromatograph, High Pressure Liquid Chromatograph, Refrigerated Centrifuge, Cryocut, ELISA and Ultra Microtome etc

Our Veterinary Biosciences programme provides excellent training for students intending to work in laboratories related to animal science. It also provides a broad education in the biosciences, including the interface between human and veterinary medicine, for those with interests in veterinary sciences who may then go on to work in a wide variety of fields. It does not provide recognised training for those wishing to practise as a vet, although it may be suitable as an entry point for such a recognised programme.

Our modular programme structure provides a broad range of skills in your first year that ensure a solid foundation on which to build for your specialisation in the final year. Transfer between this and other programmes in the biological sciences is usually possible at this stage.

Your second year combines further studies in fundamental sciences with some specialised animal science modules. The optional professional training year, after your second year, will complement your academic knowledge and enhance your employment prospects upon completion of your degree. Your final year consists of core modules in specialised aspects of animal science, combined with a choice of a wide range of optional modules, together with a research project conducted in one of our own research laboratories or, subject to arrangement, neighbouring research institutes.
