Faculty of Science

Faculty of Science (FOS) aims to foster creativity and innovation for an intellectually
satisfying learning environment as well as to establish Manipal University Jaipur (MUJ)
as a globally preferred destination for students, faculty, researchers and other

stakeholders. FOS includes School of Basic Sciences (SBS) which was entrusted with the
responsibility of developing and executing academic programs in different discipline of
Basic Sciences at undergraduate, postgraduate and research levels. The SBS consists of

five departments: Physics, Chemistry, Mathematics & Statistics Biosciences, and
Department of Computer Applications. It also supports the teaching of Science courses in
other Schools of the University to promote interdisciplinary studies. The SBS has

developed syllabi for various core courses blending basic science with interdisciplinary
topics. Experimental learning, study visits to industries and research institutes are
integral parts of all programs. These enable students to excel in the areas of basic as well

as applied sciences. In addition, they serve as launching pads for attractive carrier
opportunities in the academia and industry. The school has unique synergy of teaching
and research with many national as well as international interactions and collaborations.

“Searching the unknown out of the “so called known” is the spirit that makes “Science”
one of the most unique disciplines where the need to ask questions and the urge to
address them never end. This never ending journey of quest is what we encourage the
most at Manipal University Jaipur so that today’s Students can be nurtured to become
tomorrow’s Scientists and Technologists to serve the humanity at the National and
International levels.”
