Event Outcome: Basic understanding of PCM
Basic Science forms the foundation for learning advanced scientific subjects. Many first-year students face difficulties due to weak fundamentals, lack of confidence, and fear of formulas and technical terms. This Bridge course aims to explain Basic Science in a simple and student-friendly manner to improve understanding and interest.
The Basic Science Course provides a strong foundation for understanding fundamental scientific principles and for developing a scientific attitude among students. It introduces learners to the core branches of science such as physics, chemistry, and mathematics, helping them understand natural phenomena and the scientific explanations behind every day experiences. The course aims to foster curiosity, observation, logical reasoning, and critical thinking, while also strengthening problem-solving abilities.
