1 Puja Pal, Ph.D. Assistant Professor Department of Zoology Taki Government College, Taki, Hasnabad Mob: TEACHING: Joined West Bengal Education Service (WBES) in the year Since then, Taki Government College is being the first college to serve. Taught undergraduate courses including both advance and general courses in department of Zoology, TGC. Teaching undergraduate students not only includes knowledge but also interest in various branches for the subjects. Students should know all the facets of the subject details so that they can feel free to select their interest area for further studies in masters and so on. As the undergraduate courses covers vast area of study including non-vertebrates and vertebrates and also special focus on molecular biology, genetics, biochemistry, ecology, immunology and many more. Students are also enlightened about the surrounding environment and excursion both local and distant are conducted for make them get well acquainted with the actual theme called zoology. Teaching interest mainly includes cytogenetics, molecular biology, endocrinology, molecular evolution. OBJECTIVE: To work with a reputed institution as an Assistant professor, that will provide me a good platform to utilize my teaching, research & administration skills and will help me to grow my career. To constantly upgrade my knowledge and skills and make a difference in whatever I do. EDUCATION: Studied Bachelor in Science with Zoology Honours from K.N.C., University of Kalyani and became University topper with 71.25% marks. Studied Master in Science in Zoology with Cytogenetics and molecular Biology as special paper and became University Gold Medalist with 79% marks. Secured rank 22th position out of 964 in the subject Life Sciences under UGC-CSIR NET in Jun Resume/ Dr. PUJA PAL 1
