Homi Bhabha Exam Syllabus

​

Although there is no fixed syllabus for this exam, there are some guidelines:

Exams for 6th and 9th are mainly based on science topics covered in SSC, CBSE and ICSE board textbooks of the same standard. However, the questions asked are more difficult and tricky than regular school exams. So a thorough understanding of basic science concepts is essential.

A Sample Question from Homi Bhabha Exam:

When can we say that 2 pieces A and B are magnets?
1. When Piece A attracts Piece B
2. When Piece A attracts Piece B and Piece B also attracts Piece A
3. When Piece A repels Piece B
4. When Piece A and Piece B do not attract each other.

Now, you may think in a hurry that option 2 (both attract each other) is correct. But that is not true (even an iron piece attracts a magnet!) The correct answer is option 3 (repulsion is a sure test of magnetism).

Now, to answer such a question, it is not enough to just read school books. While studying any topic, you must ask questions – “But why does this happen?”, “How does this work?”… And if you cannot find the answers, you are always welcome to ask us!
