Programme Details

On August 26, 2023 at 10.30 AM, Bombay Association for Science Education (BASE) and Nehru Science Centre (NSC) will host yet another Experimental Skills-based test. There are several forums where students can display their theoretical talent at school and college levels. This initiative is to test the talent of the students on the experimental side of science.

The assessment of the student will be on the basis of two experiments assigned to the students (without any choice for the student). These experiments can be on any topic of science (not discriminating between Physics, Chemistry and Biology).

The experiments will be at 3 levels. Level 1 will involve direct measurement of physical quantities. Level 2 will be indirect measurements and physical quantities deduced from these measurements. The deduction could be on the basis of graphs, calculation, data, presentation etc. Level 3 will be conceptual based experiments where the skills tested on the previous 2 levels may be used.

Students are expected to learn and develop their experimental skills before appearing for the certificate exam. As envisaged in new National Education Policy, it is desired that the institutions of higher education will give due weightage to this certificate during admission process to professional career of higher education, like Medical, Engineering, Research in basic sciences etc.

The structure of the program may be subject to changes, based on the feedback from the student and teacher community.
