They conducted activities in Basic Biology, Chemistry, Physics and Mathematics. Each activity is evaluated to assess the student’s comprehensive capacity, aptitude for science, analytical and logical thinking capacity. Activity linked evaluation in biology included Demonstration, puzzle and spot test. In Mathematics there were lectures on creative thinking, demonstration of mathemagic and quiz involving logical reasoning. In Chemistry, to assess comprehension, creativity, aptitude and ability to think logically included audio visual presentations, demonstration of chemical experiments, objective test etc.were included. In Physics, PowerPoint presentations on physical reality, laboratory session on measurements followed by discussion session and question answer session were included.

Projects and demonstrations in Physics (Basic Properties of Light and Fibre Optical Communication, Magnetism and applications,How do we see through our own eyes, Earth and Earthquakes, Conservation of Energy, Metals and Non-Metals) were included. The main topics covered in mathematics included Alternate Number System and Fibonacci series. In chemistry Acid –Base indicators, Artificial Fire, Water boil without heating and Chemistry in daily life were some to mention. Biology included topics like Human Blood, Blood smear etc.

The programs were designed in such a way as to get the students  maximum exposure to the facilities available in the university.Students were grouped into four and each group had sessions in Physics, Chemistry,Biology,and Mathematics of two hours duration followed by activity programs. These activities were the basis of evaluation .At the department of Physics the topics related to optics were covered .At the department of chemistry the programme included Chemical Indicators, Measurement of pH, Detection test for chemical pollutants in water.In biology the main topic covered was Food and Nutrition.As group activity in this ,Detection of Starch, Protein and Fat was conducted.In mathematics there were Lecture class, Interactive Programs and Lab Demonstration.

The three days Programme were divided into six sessions under six resource persons. The subjects included Basic Bio –Sciences, Basic Physical Sciences, Material Sciences, Agricultural Sciences/Farming, Enviroment/Enviromental Problems, Science and Industry. During this, lecture/demonstration, Tutorials/Interactive session, Use of Library and other learning resources, field visit were held.

In the final phase 62 students were selected. Fifty percent of the total strength is girl students.  Fifty percent students are from rural schools.  They were given opportunity to interact with eminent scholars in the field of Science. They were given opportunity to visit major research institutions within India.
