The Science Faculty of JSM College was established in 2000-01, with the introduction of the pure science subjects of Physics, Chemistry, Mathematics and Botany. Over the years the Science Departments have grown in number, offering new subjects, to keep abreast with global trends. The Science Departments aim of inculcating a scientific temper amongst its students by providing an exposure through seminars, workshops and visits to Research and Development institutions.
The events followed on into a poster competition that did succeed in lightening a spark of curiosity about various topics with memorable ones being telescopic illustrations, scientists of history, etc.
Another event featured a quiz which was equally challenging and educational. Highlight of the day was professor’s quiz where our esteemed faculty tested their polished wits in a display of class.
