3-year program. We are glad to inform you that FSnT at BASE
was introduced in the year 2003 and since its inception we have
reached out to more than 45,000 students.
The objective of this program is to strengthen the basics of
Science and Mathematics and help students develop skills like
observation, comprehension, analysis, application, and
problem solving which in turn help students to take up the
challenging competitive exams with better awareness.
I am confident dear student, that you will actively participate in
the program as per the guidance by our academic team and
become a better learner and achieve your goal.

put you in the coveted league of very successful individuals.

Note down the doubts you get out of your reading.
Listen to the explanation of the teacher in the class.
Continue this process throughout your academic
journey.
Post-class preparation
After attending each session
Read the contents taught in the class from the module,
Practice by writing, solve the problems wherever
applicable and revise.
While revising, close your eyes and recollect everything
you have read or written. This enables you to take onus
of your learning.
Submission of assignments/homework
Maintain ONE long notebook for each subject.
Solve exercises/problems as instructed by teacher/s in
and submit periodically for corrections.
From June onwards
Exercises from chapters to be solved by the student will
be intimated to parents once in a fortnight through SMS.
Solve and submit as per the deadlines given.
Take back the notebooks in the class from respective
teachers.

4. Board support booklet (State/CBSE/ICSE)

The -wise
CBSE/STATE/ICSE
Each of the chapter will contain notes followed by
questions which are like what the students will get in
their school textbooks.
The booklet will have both MCQs and descriptive
questions.

5. Schedule of Board Support Classes & Quant classes

Online LIVE
Students will get exclusive support for State/CBSE/ICSE
Boards through Online Live platform on all Thursdays &
Fridays from June 2024 onwards. The students will be
segregated based on respective boards. On every
Wednesdays special session on
will be conducted which will help students to do well in
BEST-BASE Entrance & Scholarship Test.

6. Tests
Two Skill based tests (SKBT)s are conducted in an academic
year to test Learning abilities, comprehension, application,
and reasoning skills. The performance is supported by
quantitative analysis of above-mentioned skills with
observations / suggestions by the teacher.

8
 Periodic self-check online tests (OT)s will be enabled for the
students.
The test dates indicated in below tables are subject to
changes (if any) due to any reason/s which will be intimated
in advance. Test portions will be communicated 2 weeks in
advance.

Admission to BASE Colleges

FSnT-10 students will be given 1st preference for admission to
join any of our BASE Colleges through a selection test BEST (BASE
Entrance-cum-Scholarship Test) conducted in the month of
September/October 2024 for training in PU+KCET, IIT-JEE, NEET
programs. Based on the performance in BEST, attractive
scholarship is offered. Hence, we urge students to concentrate
and do well in FSnT SKBTs which in turn will help you to do well

Performance counselling on SKBTs

Students will have to attend counselling session with
parents to assess their performance, to identify their
strengths and weaknesses and adopt appropriate corrective
/ enhancement measures for improvisation. Counselling will
be done one-to-one.

7. Online Support
Following online support is provided to students:
Synopsis

 QBASE
It is an online portal wherein students can post questions
related to FSnT contents or School chapters which will be
answered by our teachers within 48 working hours.
Mentoring
Mentors are the 1st point of contact for students/parents,
and they help the students in:
Teaching effective learning techniques
Understand student's concerns, interests, hobbies,
analyse their strength/weakness and help
appropriately.

respective subject teachers with prior appointment.
Bridge gap between teacher and the student.
Support in resolving any issues related to
communications and any other academic/non-
academic matters.

8. Expectations from students

Be regular - Learning becomes regular and continuous if you
are regular to the class. If you remain absent to the class,
the continuity in learning is lost. You may not get enough
time to overcome the gap.

12
 Be punctual -You should be seated in the class 5 minutes
prior to start. You may be denied entry into the class if you
are late.
Be attentive and interactive - Foundation SnT classes are
designed to be interactive. Being active and attentive will
help you take maximum out of classroom interaction.
Clarify your doubts -Do not hesitate to ask questions. You
will not be judged. Clarify all your doubts even if they

Seek help from mentors and teachers - You can meet the
teachers and seek clarification of doubts outside the
ity. If you are shy
to ask questions in the classroom, take the help of mentor
and meet the teacher.
9. Discipline
