The Science Forum, Hindu College is ecstatic to announce that we are organising Scientia – The Annual Fest of The Science Forum from 25th to 27th February.
Ain’t it merry to have fun while learning at the same time? Gone are those days when science was restricted only to academics. We believe that fests engage students and prepare them for the real world and this encourages them to participate and showcase their latent talent. Our Annual Fest, Scientia, includes activities and events that are a culmination of knowledge and amusement such as guest lectures, paper presentations, and science quizzes. This year, we’ll be having a plethora of events!
These are the things you should look forward to:
