  Search for a proper and realistic equation of state (EOS) for strongly
interacting matter used in the study of the QCD phase diagram still appears as
a challenging problem. Recently, we constructed a hybrid model description for
the quark gluon plasma (QGP) as well as hadron gas (HG) phases where we used an
excluded volume model for HG and a thermodynamically consistent quasiparticle
model for the QGP phase. The hybrid model suitably describes the recent lattice
results of various thermodynamical as well as transport properties of the QCD
matter at zero baryon chemical potential ($\mu_{B}$). In this paper, we extend
our investigations further in obtaining the properties of QCD matter at finite
value of $\mu_{B}$ and compare our results with the most recent results of
lattice QCD calculation.
