The Senior Scholarship program of the 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 recognized institutions of West Bengal so that scientific talent is conserved such that 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 are not only provided to the select few scholars of the institution but to a network of high ability students across the State. These are in the form of travel, placement and seminar programs.
