About This Opportunity
The Certificate of Experimental Skills (CES) is a unique practical examination designed to assess students' hands-on science skills rather than theoretical knowledge. Jointly organised by BASE (Bombay Association for Science Education) and Nehru Science Centre Mumbai, CES tests the ability to design, conduct, and analyse scientific experiments.
The examination spans three progressive levels: Level 1 covers direct measurement and basic experimental procedures; Level 2 focuses on indirect measurement and logical deduction; Level 3 involves conceptual application and independent experimental design. Students who clear all three levels demonstrate a comprehensive command of experimental science methodology.
The Certificate of Experimental Skills is recognised by higher education institutions in India, particularly in medical, engineering, and research admission processes, as evidence of practical scientific aptitude. The examination is typically conducted annually in November at Nehru Science Centre Mumbai.
