Programme is offered in Physics, Chemistry, Mathematics and Biology, by the School of Physical Sciences, School of Chemical Sciences, School of Biological Sciences and School of Mathematical Sciences, respectively. Each school has its own program of core and elective courses(subjects) and a student can finally graduate with the major in that respective school. For the overall development of students, they are also offered some courses from the School of Humanities and Social Sciences. First year courses are same for all the incoming students and they choose their major second year onwards.
