SENIOR SCHOLARSHIP :
The Senior Scholarship program of JBNSTS
is the core program that has been functioning since the birth of the
institution in 1958. Originally , just a scholarship providing
scheme, it has expanded to a holistic pedagogic ideology for the
development of creative students of science. This has been made
possible by systematic research on educational needs of gifted
individuals.
This scheme caters to the development of
creative undergraduate students studying Basic Sciences,
Engineering & Medicine in registered institutions of West Bengal. It
aims to the conservation of scientific talent and the nation's need
for science and technology personnel can be met.
The motivational program for this group
involves exposures to the field of creative thinking through contact
programs with creative minds. The nurture and enrichment programs
involve educational tours, entitlement to other scholarships,
seminar programs and project work in groups.

SENIOR BIGYANI KANYA MEDHA BRITTI
:
The under-representation and disparity
of women in STEM fields result from discrimination, deep-rooted
social biases and inaccessibility to quality science education
throughout different stages of their academic career. In the history
of all the Nobel Prizes in the sciences, there have been 20 female
laureates of the more than 600 prizes awarded in physiology or
medicine, chemistry and physics. These ratios reflect gender
disparity and inequality that exists in STEM field globally. Women
account for a meagre percentage in tertiary education in science
compared to their male counterparts. There is a noticeable gap
between girls pursuing science in high school standards in India
which casts a bleak spell in the society in terms of gender equality
in academia and STEM workforce.
To bridge the gap, JBNSTS has initiated
a unique program titled Senior Bigyani Kanya Medha Britti under the
financial support of Department of Science and Technology (DST),
Government of West Bengal encouraging the meritorious girl students
of our state to pursue science in their higher education. The
program identifies the prospective awardees on the basis of JBNSTS
Senior Talent Science Test. All the eligible girl students willing
to partake in the program are required to apply for the Senior
Talent Science Test.
