Introduction
In these days where knowledge is multiplying
day by day, where new methodologies,
strategies and technologies are being invented,
where new approaches and systems are being
explored :where new models are being initiated
to redesign and reshape the prevailing academic
environment in institutions to keep pace with
increasing knowledge in each sphere, where
educational literature is being enriched by new
innovations the objective of making learning
more promising and maximally effective to the
learner can be achieved by making instructions
individualized.
In India science and technology have
been in use since long. But in recent years,
India as nation is heading for rapid
individualization based on the use of high
technology such efforts needs automation and
the use of the computers; these efforts have to
measure requirements. First there is a need of
highly trained experts who can build indigenous
systems of science and technology; Second
scientifically literate citizens, who can take
decisions about the proper use of science
technology?
In this science and technology oriented
society every citizen should be able to
understand the role of science. The study of the
science is helpful to acquire knowledge and
skills for learners future life and occupation.

This is essential for achieving concrete results

in terms of economic and social progress.
Science satisfies the curiosity of the
learner regarding nature and other scientific
phenomena. Thus it is helpful in developing
scientific attitude.
Objectives of the study
1.To find out the level of achievement in science
at secondary school level students.
2.To find out the achievement in science of
secondary level Hindu and Muslim students.
3.To compare the achievement in science of
secondary school level girls and boys.
4.To compare the achievement in science of
secondary school level students studying in
Government and Non-Government schools.
Hypotheses of the study
1.There is no significant difference between
Hindu and Muslim boys of Government schools
at secondary level in the achievement of science.
2.There is no significant difference between
Hindu and Muslim girls of Government schools
at secondary level in the achievement of science.
3.There is no significant difference between
Hindu and Muslim boys of Non-Government
schools at secondary level in the achievement of
science.
4.There is no significant difference between
Hindu and Muslim girls of Non-Government
schools at secondary level in the achievement of
