Zoology is offered in various combinations in the Undergraduate program. All combinations include the study of Chemistry and the third subject is variable. The combinations offered at Mount Carmel College are:

•    CHEMISTRY, BOTANY AND ZOOLOGY (CBZ)
This gives the student a knowledge of the three basic life science subjects, after which she is eligible to take up any PG course such as Zoology, Chemistry, Biochemistry, Microbiology, Environmental Science, Biotechnology, Botany, Life Sciences, etc .Students are also eligible for a B.Ed. course to become qualified teachers. They can take up any civil service examinations as they have studied basic life science subjects. The students of this combination are sought after for research programs as they are proficient in both Zoology and in Botany.

•    CHEMISTRY, ZOOLOGY AND MICOROBIOLOGY (CZM)
This is a combination where students train in Microbiology. They are eligible to pursue a PG course in any subjects mentioned above except Botany and a B.Ed. course.

•    CHEMISTRY ZOOLOGY AND ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCE (CZE)
The students in this combination train in Environmental Sciences. They are eligible to pursue a PG course in any subjects mentioned above except Botany and a    B.Ed. course.

•    BIOTECHNOLOGY, CHEMISTRY AND ZOOLOGY (BtCZ)
The students in Biotechnology also need to specially train in Zoology to better hone their skills.

•    CHEMISTRY, ZOOLOGY, NUTRITION AND DIETITCS (NDCZ)
