ABOUT DEPARTMENT OF SCIENCE

The Oxford Learners Dictionary defines Science as “knowledge about the structure and behavior of the natural and physical world, based on facts that you can prove, for example by experiments.” Over time Science has evolved into multiple streams and sub-streams and yet the basic premise of all scientific studies remains the same – experiment and empirical evidence.
Today education in Science is a basic requirement for most jobs and professions and the knowledge of STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) hasn’t been so important ever before. A good science college must not only give a strong theoretical base to its students but should also equally encourage experimentation and practical application of the learnings. With this noble intention, CVRU Bihar has opened its science college which is now one of the top BSc colleges in India.
