Apart from its own faculty at the School of Science, expertise in the various disciplines of science is available from various reputed academic institutions as well as from Industry. Guest Lectures School of Science organizes a number of guest lectures by eminent scholars/ professionals from the industry / academia to ensure higher learning and excellence in frontier areas of Science and Technology. STUDENT’S JOURNAL CLUB As an initiative to encourage ‘exchange of ideas’ and ‘innovative thinking’, the ‘Student’s Journal Club’ (SJC) was launched in January 2011. The SJC caters to all the departments at SOS (Biological Sciences, Chemical Sciences and Statistics). The SJC meetings for Biological Sciences and Chemical Sciences and for Statistics are held on alternate Wednesdays wherein students delivers a talk based on a recent research article. The SJC gives a chance to students to actively participate and develop their presentation skills. New students get the opportunity to develop newer research ideas through sharing of information with students doing their Doctoral studies. Moreover, students get the opportunity to understand subjects in fields that are essentially not their own. INDUSTRY INTERFACE PROGRAM An Industry Interface program has been initiated at School of Science for students in Biological Sciences and Chemical Sciences. The program aims to keep the students abreast of the latest trends in the industry/research organizations through industrial visits and guest lectures and also explore career opportunities for students in the industry/research organizations. The affairs of industry interface program are managed by a joint faculty-student cell.
NATIONAL EDUCATION DAY School of Science celebrates ‘National Education Day’ (NED) to commemorate the birth anniversary (11th November) of Maulana Abul Kalam Azad, a freedom fighter and the ‘First Education Minister’ of Independent India. As part of the NED celebrations, the school organizes a multidisciplinary symposium on Biological Sciences, Chemical Sciences and Statistics which was initiated in 2011. At the event, lectures by eminent speakers from academia and industry are organized. Oral and poster presentation competition is held wherein students from the School as well as from different colleges and research institutions can present their own research projects on various themes.
