Guidance sessions for HBBVC (Homi Bhabha Bal-Vaigyanik Competition) Examination
Homi Bhabha Bal-Vaigyanik Competition (HBBVC) is being organized for students of std. VI (& Std. IX) each year by Greater Bombay Science Teachers Association. NMSF, however, conducts “Guidance Sessions” for students of Std. VI only.
NMSF acts only as a facilitator for learning by providing an interface as under:

The interface broadens the horizons of students' mind. The salient features of these “Guidance Sessions” are as under:
- The guidance sessions are interactive in nature & are handled by scientists. Emphasis is on "Learning by Students" rather than "Teaching".
- The students are thus exposed to scientists' ways of thinking, where "Going Beyond" is normal rather than an exception as distinct from the school mode.
- A prototype syllabus has been developed for guidance purposes. It consists of 15 sessions, each one consisting of 3 lectures of 1 hour each on Physics, Chemistry and Biology.
- The sessions are conducted on Sunday mornings during April to August. On the last 5 Sundays, there is one extra bonus lecture on Mathematics.
Benefit:
- This approach initiates students into becoming independent thinkers bringing them closer to problem-solving approach, so very essential to real life situations
