Botany is one of the oldest departments of Teresian College, started from the inception of the institution in the year 1963. The department offers BSc., degree with CBZ and CBBt combinations. The department is enriched with rare collection in the museums, gardens, well-equipped labs, and library. The department has qualified, experienced and highly motivated teachers involving themselves in teaching, research and extension activities. The department strives to promote all-round development of the students by inculcating the spirit of quest, discipline and adventure through various academic and co-curricular activities.
