The department of Physiology was opened in 1961 as a Pass Course and was upgraded as a Honours Department in 1990. From the very outset, students of the department showed remarkable success in academic advancement and the tradition continues even today. The Trend of Success is almost 100% every years with a very low dropout rate. Since 2008 the Department runs a Certificate Course in Medical Laboratory Technology which is a Self financed Job oriented Course sponsored by UGC. The Curriculum is prepared by the Faculty Members. It is a 1 (one) year certificate course. The Physiology Laboratory is a well equipped laboratory under the University of Calcutta. Therefore the University has made it a centre for University Practical Examination for Part I, II and Part III General courses every year.
